DIY T-Track: Build Your Own for Workshop Projects

I make my own T-Track in the shop and find it is better and more flexible than store bought and saves a pile of $$$.

Ron Paulk is a heckuva shop teacher. It would be interesting to watch him explain a full build.

The spline in the stop block is genius! Nice system. Will try this out! Thanks for the video!

[javiermorcelo]

Thank you Ron! Once again a home run. I will be making some tracks.

Ron - great videos as always. FYI the Milwaukee 5625 router has an OEM 1/4" collet (Milwaukee part # 48-66-1015) you can buy. If someone's router collet doesn't accept that 8mm cutter, - there is a specific Whiteside 8mm to 1/2" reducer bushing they can buy.

Great idea! My initial impression was that it won't be very strong, but when you think about it there's not a lot of force on the 'lip' of the track, it's just being compressed between the t track nut and the block above it with the shear strength of one side of the sheet resisting the forces on it.

I'm going to cut t-slots in my router fence first thing in the morning.

Thanks for the shop class.

Really enjoyed this. Have said it before just love that you work in metric.

Thanks for sharing Ron! I really admire your router table set up! Would you consider doing a video on how to select a good router for strictly using in the inverted position like your Milwaukee's? Thanks for everything!

[mariojhorge]

Thanks champ, to share your work with us.

I recently was gifted a top with wooden tracks but they would splinter open when clamping down so I just went out and installed some metal track. I guess this wooden track is good for light work and no clamps.

Love your videos, where and what’s the model of Apron are you wearing??

[multibikermike]

Hi Ron, nice job! I will be making a few different sizes for my fences. However if you could recommend a way to lengthen the mitre slots in my outfeed table it would be appreciated. I have Delta unisaw with T mitre slots.I have been looking for a router bit to accomplish this but haven't been able to locate one.
Thanks for all your expertise. I have you to thank for my track saw and TSO purchases!

[paulrainey]

Love your videos. The T-slot cutter doesn't show up properly in the UK, which one is it. 3075? Do you know of one that can be used in an 8mm or 1/4" collet that matches the slot dimensions in your plans?

[andrewsmall]

Great idea Ron. Would this work incorporated into a bench top?

[joegrimes]

Is there a distance that you stay away from an edge ? So that the plys don’t delaminate if there happens to be an odd situation.

[murrynation]

Great stuff mate.

Probably explained on one of the videos, but why use the 1/4 inch bit 1st and nit go straight in with t track bit?

[kuldeepvinning]

Where can I buy the bit from and what’s is the bit called

[thomasbrownell]

Ron is the shop made T-Track strong enough to mount the Woodpeckers Smart Fence with the Micro Adjust?

[jajatus]

Hey guys, can some one let me know why the biggest difference with the two cargo trailer plans that he has on his website?
