T-Track is a Smart Workbench Accessory
Oct 19, 2012
Before I had a bench or worktable, I clamped pieces to my tablesaw extension to work on them. It was a poor setup.
So, when I built a worktable recently, I inserted two parallel lengths of T-track, several inches apart, in the table’s surface. A hold-down in each track easily secures a panel for carving or setting inlay, or other workpieces for sawing. Rubber drawer liner between the table and workpiece prevents marring.

Woodriver Circle Cutting Jig
The WoodRiver circle jig, which produces cuts up to 32-1/2 in. dia., and I can confidently recommend it. Unlike similar jigs that can pop off of their pivots mid-cut, ruining a panel in the process, this one has a robust pivot point that registers securely in the jig and workpiece.
Incra Miter 1000HD
One of many extremely accurate Incra miter gauges, this model offers 180-degree adjustment to 1/10 of a degree, and a long, straight fence with a telescoping stop system.
Double Sided Tape
A thin woven core makes XFasten tape strong yet not too thick (0.008 in.), and helps it hold powerfully without being difficult to peel off.
