The way I was looking at was that both tables are 30", if the slider draws
back 6" before the bit that'll give me 36" of travel. Correct me if I'm
wrong.

Joe you're looking at it wrong. I tried to think about all kinds of ways to
convince you with words but I cannot describe it. Get some boards or pieces
of paper to create a model of the router table, sliding table and the board
attached to it. Move it around and take some measurements. I think you'll
convince yourself that there is no way to get 36" of travel.
