I need something to help me with my crosscuts on my little table until I get a chance to upgrade to the 520. Then I will be able to make a bigger cross-cut sled for the bigger table using the same miter bars.
With the added extension table miter slot mounted to a
500 extension table, you could make it now, and use it later after the 'upgrade' with no need to modify the 520 stuff.

When installed, the miter tracks are 22" apart. I'll look somemore for photos. I cannot imagine that I did not take pictures.
Hopefully, these will give you an idea of what I did.

Item 515494 is the t-track that was previously suggested, though there are other t-track item numbers out there.
