No, not for the guide rail, the one that attaches to the angle head. I was planning on adding a router fence to the rail but discovered that the rail isn't a standard t-slot and none of my bolts fit because the slot is too narrow. Does anyone know if there are any bolts that fit this track? It fits the square nuts of Festools own attachments like the flag stop obviously but I haven't seen anything else that would fit. I want to use the rail because it clamps to the table edge and is very quick and easy to adjust as well as being solid when clamped.

Any ideas?
 
Any 1/4-20 bolt with a 7/16 hex head or square head fits just fine. Square head would be better if you can find them.

Toilet screws that look like a T-slot bolt could work if you don't mind filing or grinding a little off of the sides of the bolt head.

The bottom of the rail slot is .480 inches or 12.2 mm wide. An 8 mm bolt fits in the slot nice but the nut is just a bit too wide.

EDIT: Ooops, Nevermind. I read it's not the guide rail but by the end of the post I was thinking guide rail again. My post is info for the guide rail.  [embarassed]
