Shop Made Jigs, Fixtures and Solutions #6: Shop Made T-track

Hi Dave, what a great idea. What size stock is it? Does it match a router bit or do you have to finesse the dado?

Very good idea Dave. Thnx for the vid. It worked fine. You must have a good phone… lol

sweet idea! Will be doing this as well. How did you attach the t-track into the miter slot? Epoxy?

-- Steve

That’s a COOL way of getting T-Track… and a sight cheaper too!

Did you epoxy it in the channel?

I have to remember this… Really COOL…

Good tip on using Table saw to cut the slot too!

I really like your Router Table… especially the dust control!

Thank you for sharing!

Great tip. I always thought that T Track was way overpriced. I made some T Track fom aluminum poster frames (just ripped on edge off on the table saw. Ain’t cheap great?

Thanks guys.

The stock is 3/4” square. I used a 3/4” straight bit to cut the “miter slot” and it was a perfect fit.

I pre-drilled 2 holes in each track, countersunk them and used small screws. The screw heads don’t sit completely flush, but they don’t need to. The carriage bolt never touches the bottom of the track.

Also, I forgot to mention, the square stock is the same thickness as the router table top so I added a piece of 3/4” ply under the track slot for a base to screw it to.
