Rockler T-tracks - Anyone use these?

[jimidi (Jim Amos)]

+1 on the SuckIt dust boot. I have (3) 48" T-Tracks for my XXL and I am still consternating over how I’ll use them (i.e. cut-size and spacing). In the meantime I’ve finally created a small surfaced board from 3/4" MDF with underside 1/4-20 T-nuts. I have bolted the surfaced board to my stock Shapeoko wasteboard which has 1/4-20 threaded inserts.

@stutaylo has a thread showing his track arrangement which has inspired me to consider a layout in the horizontal realm:

XXL Wasteboard upgrade

I spent the day replacing the original MDF base on my XXL with 1" plywood, with some T-Track laid into it. I will cut some 3/4" MDF sacrificial boards to sit on top of the ply between the tracks. I was having a lot of trouble with flex in the original base too, so have removed the screw-in feet, and the machine is now sitting on the long supports that sit under the base board. I will screw the board into the torsion box that I have the machine sitting on, to ensure there is no movement at all. …

There are many examples of vertical spacing too as all the folks who have posted here have implemented and shared . At some point I’ll commit.

It’s all about the journey, and I’ve enjoyed it immensely…
