From what I have seen so far, The machine shops said it would tricky
to get the table mounted to the milling machine due to its size. I think
I am going to opt for buy the stock already milled to the correct size.

What I found that was interesting that I wanted to share with everyone is
that the dimensions of the miter slots were 18mm X 9mm. I say it was
interesting as that ratio is the same as the standard slots.

I recently came into a "buffalo" tablesaw what was missing a miter
gauge. Everthing on the saw seems to be fine except for the miter
slots on the table. The miter slots on this tablesaw seems to be just
shy of 3/4" in width. The depth does seem to match 3/8" but a
standard size miter guage will just not fit in the slot. Does anyone
know of a place or website that I can purchase sliders that will fit
this slot so I can retrofit a miter guage to work with the saw?

I called the manufacturer of the saw and they said that they no longer
carry parts for it so buying a new one from the factory is out.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You might check with Shopsmith. Their miter slot is just less than
3/4" - I believe it is 11/16ths - they sell a reasonable miter guage.
Their miter bars have an adjustment set-screw that allows the bar to
be adjusted to a tight fit. The bar for the model 510/520 is for a
T-slot miter and the bar for the 500 is for a non-T application (the
only difference is a "washer" attached to the 510/520 bar). If it
fits, they have a pletora of Incra products desined to fit the
Shopsmith miter slots on their web catalog.
