I am sawing a 1/4" BB, "good on both sides." It will have no backer, so I sandwiched it between two 1/4" luan sacrifice boards, to prevent splintering. Top feeding FDUR#3 blades into entry holes that are a tight fit.

 

For the first few entry holes, when I put the blade in from the top, I was having some problems lining it up with the saw table slot. Was feeling around, trying to find the slot.

 

Had a "eureka" moment (for me that's rare, but won't elaborate on that.)

 

With the top arm up, I took a second blade, held the wood up a little, and put the second blade through the wood & into the slot. Set the wood down, held it in place with my elbow, removed the 2nd blade and threaded the blade I was cutting with. After a few inside cuts, I was able to see down through them and see the slot.

 

One problem; My brain is already full, so will need decide what to forget, in order to remember this.

For years, with my old saw, I was also a bottom feeder. Got a new Delta a month ago and became an avid top feeder. When that happens, you think that bottom feeders are "So yesterday." I personally am not going back.
