Who makes it, and where can you get one? - Kreg Owners' Community2024-03-29T15:53:28Zhttps://kregjig.ning.com/forum/topics/who-makes-it-and-where-can-you-get-one?commentId=2900167%3AComment%3A399738&feed=yes&xn_auth=noHi John,

<p>Hi John,</p>
<p>I've purchased several t-tracks from Rockler---</p>

<p>Hi John,</p>
<p>I've purchased several t-tracks from Rockler---</p>
<p><a href="http://www.rockler.com/search_results.cfm?srch=usr&filter=t+tracks&Search.x=0&Search.y=0&Search=Submit">http://www.rockler.com/search_results.cfm?srch=usr&filter=t+tracks&Search.x=0&Search.y=0&Search=Submit</a></p>
<p>I also have some Bench-Dog tracks---</p>
<p><a href="http://www.rockler.com/search_results.cfm?srch=usr&filter=bench+dog+tracks&Search.x=0&Search.y=0&Search=Submit">http://www.rockler.com/search_results.cfm?srch=usr&filter=bench+dog+tracks&Search.x=0&Search.y=0&Search=Submit</a></p>
<p>Kreg's Klamp-Trak---</p>
<p><a href="http://www.kregtool.com/Klamp-Trak-Prodview.html">http://www.kregtool.com/Klamp-Trak-Prodview.html</a></p>
<p></p>
<p>The tracks can be installed in many wood working surfaces---</p>
<p>just route the appropriate slot and screw-em-down.</p>
<p>On occasions when I need a handy or specialized work surface or station, </p>
<p>I cut up some plywood or mdf to applicable size---</p>
<p>mill a slot(s)---</p>
<p>fasten the track---</p>
<p>clamp the work station in place, ---</p>
<p>and ''do-it''.</p>
<p>Need an auxiliary work surface---</p>
<p>...for your work bench ?</p>
<p>...your saw horse(s) ?</p>
<p>...portable work stands?</p>
<p></p>
<p>These are the way to go.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I made an auxiliary work surface, 24'' x 24'' x 1'' thick, for a drill press.</p>
<p>Located several tracks, spaced at 4'' apart, and</p>
<p>bolted the fixture to the drill press table.</p>
<p>This fixture turned out to be very efficient. </p>
<p>Sorry, I don't have any pics---but, I'm sure you can visualize it. </p>
<p></p>
<p>The 1/4'' size is most suitable for most smaller tasks at hand.</p>
<p>I keep a good assortment of 1/4" hex head bolts and 't-bolts'', 1" to 4'', on hand.</p>
<p>One can make clamping knobs by </p>
<p>inserting a 1/4-20 ''T-nut'' into a block of wood.</p>
<p>Machine a block of wood---a suitable size for various clamping tasks---</p>
<p>shapes such as rounds, rectangles, ovals, crank styles, etc---</p>
<p>the list can go on-and-on.</p>
