• Locate the front rail, the rear rail, and the T-Glide rails hardware 

pack. All of the hardware needed to install the rails is located on 

the T-Glide rails hardware pack and is shipped in the T-Glide 

fence box. In order to easily identify the hardware used in each 

of the following steps, the different pieces of hardware are 

numbered on the hardware pack and in the figures.

• Align the front rail (the larger of the two rails) with the front edge 

of the table top so the cut-outs at the top of the rail are centered 

on the miter gauge slots in the table and so the holes in the rail 

align with the holes along the front edge of the table and 

extension wings. Remove six M8 x 25 countersunk socket

head bolts      from the T-Glide rails hardware pack and insert 

one through each of the holes in the rail and table.

• Place an M8.5 x 23 washer      and an M8 lock washer

on the back of each of the six M8 x 25 countersunk 

socket head bolts    , and then thread an M8 hex nut      on 

each bolt. Hand tighten the nuts; do not fully tighten them.

• The holes in the front edge of the table and extension wings are 

slightly larger than the bolts they receive to allow you to level the 

front rail and extension wings to the table top. Align the top of 

the front rail with the lower edge of the bevel on the front edge 

of the table top. Use a 5 mm hex key and a 13 mm wrench to 

fully tighten the nuts on the back of the four bolts that extend 

through the table top. Do not tighten the nuts on the bolts that 

extend through the extension wings.

• Use a straight-edge to level the front edge of the left extension 

wing to the cast iron table top. You may have to pull up or push 

down on the outer edge of the extension wing to level it. Once 

the front edge of the left extension wing is level, use a 5 mm hex 

key and a 13 mm wrench to fully tighten the nut on the bolt that 

mounts the left extension wing to the front rail. Repeat this 

process to level the front edge of the right extension wing.

• Align the rear rail (the smaller of the two rails) with the rear 

edge of the table top so the cut-outs at the top of the rail are 

centered on the miter gauge slots in the table and so the holes 

in the rail align with the holes along the back edge of the table 

and extension wings. Notice that the holes in the table are 

threaded but the holes in the extension wings are not. Remove 

four M8 x 16 countersunk socket head screws      from the 

T-Glide rails hardware pack and thread one through each of the 

holes in the rail and into the threaded holes in the table.

Tighten the four screws using a 5 mm hex key.

• Take two M8 x 25 countersunk socket head bolts      and insert 

one through each hole in each extension wing. Place an 

 

   M8.5 x 23 washer      and an M8 lock washer      on the 

 

   back of each bolt and then thread an M8 hex nut      on

 

   each bolt. Hand tighten the nuts; do not fully tighten them.

• Use a straight-edge to level the rear edge of the left extension 

wing to the cast iron table top. You may have to pull up or push 

down on the outer edge of the extension wing to level it. Once 

the rear edge of the left extension wing is level, use a 5 mm hex 

key and a 13 mm wrench to fully tighten the nut on the bolt that 

mounts the left extension wing to the rear rail. Repeat this 

process to level the rear edge of the right extension wing.

level the extension 

wing and tighten the 

nut on this bolt

• Once the rails are in place you can mount the extension table to

the rails, but first you must mount the support leg or legs to the 

extension table. The extension table for the 36” fence system has 

one support leg and the extension table for the 52” fence system 

has two. Locate the support legs, the angle brackets, and the 

T-Glide table hardware pack. Begin by installing the adjustable 

foot in the bottom of each support leg. Thread an M8 nut      onto 

the threaded shaft of the foot      as close to the rubber base as 

possible, and then thread the foot into the bottom of the support 

leg as far as possible.

• Each support leg is mounted to the underside of the extension 

table using two angle brackets. Align the two holes in the 

support leg to the two holes in the brackets. Put one of the 

M10 x 45 hex head bolts      through each hole in the leg and 

brackets. Thread an M10 nylon lock nut      on each bolt and 

tighten with a 17 mm wrench. You will need to hold the head of

the hex bolt with another 17 mm wrench to tighten the lock nut. 

Do not fully tighten the nuts; leave them just loose enough to be 

able to move the brackets.

15

angle bracket

• Mount the angle brackets to the underside of the extension 

table using three M4 x 16 Phillips head screws      per bracket.

The underside of the extension table is pre-drilled to receive the 

screws. Be careful not to overtighten the screws because you 

 

     may strip the threads in the wood. Once all the brackets

 

     have been mounted to the table, fully tighten the 

 

     M10 nylon lock nuts that secure the legs to the brackets.
