Randal Horse of a different color (or colour for you Brits)

Your sled is for a horse of a different color. This saw, the 21829, is a mobile clone of the BT3100. It's the kinda saw, that if you had the space for a benchtop, but needed better accuracy (building your own cabinets), then this would be for you. But, if your building fine furniture, that is extemely ornate, and you drop a lot of 3" (12/4) lumber on the table, all day, every day, it's not the one.

This saw has a sliding miter table, Sears dropped the dual miter slot tables, that they sold for their predecessor, just before coming out with this saw.
Now in response to the original post, if your manual is similar to the BT manual, it will show you how to make a featherboard. Otherwise, there is a clamp that was a part of the accessory kit, that I believe is recently been closed out at HD (depot). However, if you go to bt3central.com, you will find a link to articles, at the top. Ton's of tips and tricks on that site.
This saw also happens to have a true riving knife, something you have to go up in budget for otherwise.
