Clamping the FT track: Video

[crpaulk]

An often ask question, "How do you clamp the FT track?" I made a Youtube video showing my method.

Thanks for the video.  But if one chooses to clamp, I'm actually partial to the Dewalt track clamps over the Festool ones.  The squeeze/trigger mechanism I find much faster than the screw clamps, and more precise than the quick clamp, which, if you're not careful can occasionally move the track slightly off the mark when you're ratcheting them.

100% agree with Ron and Edward. Dewalt clamps are the way to go. However, I do use clamps with the track saw when doing final or seaming cuts in solid surface to ensure no movement.

How would the DeWalt clamps work with the LR32 rail and system?
