   Not likely.....

   I'm piping up simply because nobody else has.  It's highly unlikely that a portable, small saw such as the Bosch would have a sliding table attachment.  It's a great job-site saw, but most of the users (contractors) probably use miter saws for their crosscuts.

   How about for a Unisaw

   Hey I'm looking for a good sliding crosscut table for my new Delta Unisaw. Mine is the 52" version. Any recommendations?

   There are, or were, a couple of aftermarket sliding tables but they were fairly massive, probably 10 times the weight of your Bosch.  The best solution would be to build a miter sled.

   Crosscut dilemma

   Thanks Forrestgirl and John White,

   I'm building my own sliding platform that will be attached to the mitre gauge bar and another half moon shaped section will be attached to a mitre fence that is in turn attached to the face of the stock mitre gauge. This way the fence and mitre gauge can  still move to any angle adjustment the gauge could normally do in "stock" condition. There will also be a matching, non-moving, section on the right side that locks into the mitre groove on that side of the table.

   I know that, compared to a lot of the cabinet saws, my Bosch is small. But compared to the saws sold around here, it is one of the largest. Also, it works nice for my garage/shop because it's easy to move out of the way when I need to do other things.

   Again, thanks for your responses,

   Gary (speakerbuilder)

   I have the very same table saw.  

   Rockler has a smaller version of their crosscut sled made just for portable saws.  I just tried it out this past weekend on my first tenon cut and it works very well.  Make sure you check the pivot for square to the blade-- and adjust the set screw, because it was off.  Also, there are small set screws on the rail that take up the slack in the table.  I wish I'd have noticed this earlier, it's not in the manual.
