Robg,
Thanks, I don't see how I missed them, (I was going by memory), but I found them last night and plan on creating something similiar.

Thanks!

Ed,
When time permits, could you photograph or explain how you attached to the front of your miter gauge? For the life of me, I don't see anywhere on the front of my Shopsmith Miter Gauge to bolt it on.

Thanks,

Hello Chuck, Sounds like that would be the smartest thing for me to do (file off both sides), if I can beat the blasted things back out :) I wonder why they advertise them for the 510 Fence, when I'm sure they're really for the 520. But I'm new to all this, learning more each time I use this machine...
