With 40 years working with sliders and repairing them I'm not familiar with the term "butt bar"! How about showing what you call a butt bar...
butt bar is piece of pipe that slides along the traveling beam. It sticks out perpendicular to the beam and you bring it up behind you to act as a brake when you are pushing material against the outboard fence.
I just made one for my 80's Panhans saw. I'll shoot a picture tomorrow.
any luck getting a butt bar made? I've got a Robland saw w/ a rectangular acc. bar instead of the round one and had a local machine shop fabricate a butt bar for me. I'm still getting my chops busted for it too. I can send a sketch if you still need it.
