    Best place to buy T-track?

    I've been looking in all the hardware stores and everything and just can't find them. Does anyone know of a good place off or online?

    Wink

    Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.

    Most local woodworker supply stores have it in stock, although some of them ask close to three times the price that Grizzly asks.

    Yeah, seems like it. Wish they had intersections as well.

    The clamp kits save time but you can make your own from 3/16" flat bar stock. Grizzly and WoodCraft has the knobs or you can make them or use wing nuts, and you can modify bolt heads to fit the track.

    T Track Mod

    I'm a long time woodworker, and I almost enjoy building the jigs as much as the real projects. I have an old cheap miter saw with a metal blade installed. I make my own intersections by cutting opposing 45s on a piece of straight track, drill a hole to hold it down. 8 cuts and 4 holes later, presto, a four way intersection

    Heh, yep, essentially that's it. I'm just not very shop savvy... just getting into it. Always wanted to, but never had the money or time.

    I am not exactly sure what you're asking. Are you asking how T-Track is used (attach them to the top of your cutting area to be able to secure objects with them) or are you asking how JeLC used his miter saw to cut t-tracks to create t-track intersection (cut 45 degrees at each side of one end of each track and then put them together to have an intersection)?

    Oh I see, you use the miter T-Track to hold down the work piece. I thought it was being used some how for a slide.

    Yep, just for use with t-slot clamps on top of the torsion box.
