Notes:

CAD file available on OnShape: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/247bc438b6ceab3094eaa63c/w/3158f89acecb50286f3e013c/e/e68e1e9563f474808e061051

* Start with a piece of MDF at least 33.75"x14.5"
* Adjust hole sizes and depths appropriately (you **will** need to do this for your setup). Make sure that the holes for the threaded inserts go all the way through the wood (they don't in the attached *.c2d files, and all had to have the final thin piece drilled out by hand).

There are 3 files for this. I recommend cutting them in order (AFTER:
* **sacrificial wasteboard cuts**:
* All of the cuts for the new sacrificial wasteboard.
* Stick your MDF along the front edge of your factory wasteboard, leaving a bit poking off left and right of the maximum (I used carpet tape, but masking+superglue works fine).
* Once the cut is done, remove the MDF and trim off the excess on a table saw (or whatever).
* **factory wasteboard cuts**:
* This cuts holes in the factory wasteboard for the eight 3/8" threaded inserts.
* Run this after removing the new wasteboard but ideally before turning the machine off, so you know the holes will all line up properly.
* **wasteboard**:
* I should have named this "wasteboard surfacing". It's designed for a 1" surfacing bit.

Additional Parts:
* about 96" Rockler T-track (widths/depths might need to be adjusted for other brands) and small screws for attaching it.
* 98 x 1/4-20 threaded inserts (I used brass EZ Lok 400-4, https://www.ezlok.com/ezknife-insert-400-4, because the zinc ones are really inconsistent -- in retrospect, these ones don't go into the MDF any straighter so they may not have been worth the extra cost).
* 8 x 3/8-16 threaded inserts (no reason other than these are the same size used for beer tap handles and I had them on hand).
* 1" long 3/8-16 bolts/washers to attach to factory wasteboard.
