    Default T tracks

    There are about 3 or 4 different ways. I chose t-tracks. There are a few venders that sell them along with clamps. I got mine at rocklers. My only regret i should have cut the pockets a little deeper so that i could resurface the table better.

    I use t-track also. Shown are 1 foot squares at one end with 1x4 pieces at the other end and rails alon the sides. Works for me as I do mostly sheet goods. Everything else I have made as removable jigs and sleds. Russ

    Thanks guys some good idea's to think about . Looks like you guys have the extended tables I'am only running 24 x 36 , T tracks look like a lot less table resurfacing.

    Default table size

    Mine is only a buddy 32 with a 4 foot power stick. Which means it has a cutting area of 48x32 or close to that.
