I have just has my BT48 alpha for just over a week and I am trying to determine where to locate and how to mount my spoil board.
My idea is to move the spindle to the X extent, move Y about 4", cut a 1/4" hole, move along Y 44", cut another 1/4", move to Y extent, move X 20", cut another 1/4" hole.
Insert dowels into the three holes and located my 24" X 48" X 1" MDF spoil board against the dowels and mount the spoil board .... how?
My first idea is to use 1/4" X 20 flat head brass screws, in 6 locations, through the MDF and into threaded holes in the Buddy table.
I would have included some photos/images but I am new to this site and do not know all of the in/outs of how do do things as yet!
CAD image:
DID NOT WORK!
PDF drawings:

I tried to an image and CAD prints for the first time ... did not work!
Can anyone tell me why what I am doing wrong with my picture post?
