I would put the track in for feather boards but don't bother with the
miter
gauge. The set up time will bore you quickly. I use a square piece of
3/4" thick plywood that is guided by the FENCE not the slot.
I can see that would work much of the time, but sometimes wouldn't the bit
hit the plywood?


Absolutely... You want that. Think Zero clearance on the back side of the
cut and less tear out on the back side of the cut. When done rip 1" off
that side of the plywood and it is brand new again. I have done hundreds of
end cuts on the rails of cabinet doors this way.
