This is an idea I saw on the FOG ages ago, a sewing needle stuck in the 'arrow' of the parallel guide stop. Makes it much easier to get both parallel guides set the same. I gave up on trying to align the measurement scale with the arrow and was using a spacer made from scrap to set each guide individually, but now I'll use the scale again as it's really quick to set very accurately.
I leave the parallel guides permanently attached to the 3000 rail which I keep 2 feet from the cutting table as its only use is to slice down 8 x 4 sheets. It's not at all unwieldy as I only have to move it 2 feet and never have to faff trying to install the guides on the rail then struggle to set them both accurately.
