I have been on the lookout for an inexpensive source for T track. Rockler, Woodcraft, P tree, et. al. charge inexplicable prices for the stuff. I did get some aluminum extrusion for a table saw cross-cut sled. Pictures are attached, below. That track measures 1"x 1/2" and accomodates a 1/4" carraige bolt. I'd like to find a souce that will accomodate the standard 5/16" T track bolts as I have a few knobs and bolts of that size. Anybody have any suggestions as to a source for the larger slotted T track?

No Lance, it will not. The 1/4" hex bolt T track is the smaller stuff Sears uses. Most other brands use the slightly larger size.

Lance, I think you're looking at the "T-slot" extrusions. That stuff is readily available in a multitude of sizes from many industrial/laboratory supply houses. Shorter sections are available on eBay. TTG | ||

Is the Miter T-Track & T-Bar from MLCS any good for you. They do a couple of versions. Router accessories Incra do some as well as Woodcraft. Buy T-Track, Jig & Fixture Hardware - Woodcraft.com | ||
