Fit a piece of wood between the fence faces, on top of the fence. Drill and tap two holes in the top to hold the wood down...mount what you want.

I have a Jet Exacta (Biesemeyer clone) and screwed a piece of wood, with t track to top of fence, to attach aux. fences, stop block, feather boards, Vega stock feeder, and the most used, "The Pusher" for thin cuts. The feeder and pusher work great. The feeder with the angled roller, does a great job keeping stock against the fence.
I don't use the anti kick back part.
I was told I have it upside down. But it works fine that way.

I just finished cutting up a lot of plywood.  I used the board buddies for the first time ever for me. For wider stuff like plywood I liked it.
