DLB,

You said t-nut but I was thinking t-BOLT.

Thanks for the replies.

DLB:
I like the looks of the Incra clamp but, if I use an SS t-nut, the threaded portion is only 1-3/16" long.

I am looking for t-track clamp suggestions. Most t-track clamps in the wild are for non-Shopsmith-sized tracks.

SSUEL,

Thanks for the reply.
I knew of this capability but, my problem is that my old SS 500 arbor is too short so the saw blade impinges on the 510 blade guard, therefore, adjusting the stop out would only push it further against the saw blade.

But, I do have the correct arbor coming now.
