There was one on the rack at my Lowes. If you can't find one I can get that one (assuming it's still there) and get it to you. I believe that they will ship to your local store.

Dremel Mini-Saw Guard Attachment (http://www.lowes.com/pd_208828-353-670-01_0__?productId=1059181&Ntt=dremel&pl=1&currentURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FNtt%3Ddremel%26page%3D7&facetInfo=)

Hi Ed
     
       I've come up with another way of attaching a brace for the table saw instead of the two clamps, I'll try and describe it as best as I can.

       The wood for the table saw is thick enough to have two rectangular pieces of wood placed lengthwise along both sides, the purpose for these (tracks).

       You can utilise two pieces of either MDF composite material 1/8th " thick, or if you want to go the expensive route purchase 1/8" of that sliperery plastic from Woodcraft, they generaly carry this material at thier outlets.

       Directions:
                     Attach two cut pieces both the same width of the table on either side of a 2" X 3" rectangular piece of wood again the width of the table top.  This can be either glued of screwed to the sides of the wood.

       Next you will need to cut two pieces of 1/8 " rectangular pieces of MDF composite material that you will attach to both of the sides extending downward over the edges and alongside of the table.
       Thease will  attach and become level with the track, you will tyhen have to cut two small additional pieces that you will attach beneath the tracks,  Finally you will cut to more rectangular pieces of the composite wood the same width and length to cover the additional wood.  The above material can be purchased from Lowes.

      I've come with two forms of clamping it down as if it were a traditional table saw, but if you can come up with another method please inform.

    Have you given any thought to reconfiguring your tabe saw to also include a Jointers
unit.?

The dremel roto tool would have to be either angled so the sander drum would lay just above the table ,but would also have to remain perfectly level

Or utilising dremels angle unit the tool would sit perfectly vertical beneath the table, the angle attachement would protrude above the table while the sanding drum would be just about level with the table
