what is this thing?

I just brought home a minimax fs35 and it came with this piece. What is it? It doesn't look like it connects to the jointer/planer but its the same paint job.397850397851

Part of a mortising attachment?

Its a sliding table for a mini max shaper , looks like a T110 or smaller.

Correct. It rode on two bars that were at an angle under the table height with a casting that carried the two bars being bolted to the bottom of the table. Worked pretty well, especially for that price point. Had one years ago.
