Hi Drugstore Cowboy

Here'a a little tip to fix that error..

Pickup some square nuts,,10-24,1/4-20 and some of the 5/16-18 will fit the slot T-slots, also threaded tee-nuts,then just clip off the 3 little spikes.

Plus some 5/16-18 x 4" full thread toggle bolts when you need to use the stud type bolt,just grind the sides of the head just a little bit to plut on the flats on the head and they will side right in the T-slots,works great for the T-slots in the fence also..

Be sure you settle on one brand and stick with it.
Incra T-tracks are designed to fit standard 1/4-20 hex head bolts.
Some other tracks (such as the blue track sold by Rockler) are designed to use the specialized T-track bolts.
So -- knobs etc. made for one will not fit the other without some grinding.

Just something I learned the hard way.
