MFTC portable workshop

[NYC Tiny Shop]

This is really clever!  If I worked outside of my home, then I would want one!  Looking forward to your next innovation, Tim.

AwesomeO: Looks really nice. What dimension of plywood did you use for the extension tables? Are they heavy?

Hi Tim.

Where did you get the t-tracks. I'm from the netherlands so i think i can order them at the same place as you did.

I've been following this post for a couple weeks now, and I was wondering about those tracks. If I look at different suppliers, I notice some sell miter tracks, t-tracks, and mini t-tracks.
Which is which?
Are the tracks that the Festool clamps fit into called miter tracks or t-tracks?
I'm assuming the mini t-tracks are the same size as the track found on the Festool fence, am I correct?

If I remember correctly, Tim mentioned picking them up in a big box store. They are curtain tracks.

McMaster Carr sells t slot track that fits the Festool clamps # 1850A19 48" $12. There is also a guy on eBay selling identical track.

Yeah, it's  bit of a downer living as an ex-pat over here in the Netherlands and trying to get my paws on stuff that's easily available in the US or Canada. A lot of the stuff on Ebay won't ship overseas, some will, but not everything, and it always seems like the stuff you would like to have the most won't ship.
I have found some suppliers here that sell some T-track that will work, but it's still a far cry from something yummy like Incra.

You can check out www.motedis.de, they sell a lot of different profiles and some of them are definately compatible with the Festool clamps. I have used the 40 I-type Slot 8 and they are perfect with the clamps. I know that the clamps are also compatible with the B-type slot 10 but they will rattle a bit in the slot.

Another possibility is this German Company. I ordered routerlift and plate from them, they seem to have a large selection of Incra Goodies  ;D

Sorry, my post was from a tablet and I had not noticed you were overseas. I ship some stuff via USPS International, feel free to email me if I you need a relay point for something.

I'll save that for another thread.  Waiting for the APP site to cooperate.  Give away software and they will come.

Must be something wrong on the forum, I took the pics and rotated them right side up and put them in a message three times and they keep showing upside down.  There is a problem here somewhere, or with the pics.

Just tried something! If you right click on the image and pick "open image in new tab" (on a Mac) it will open right side up, or at least it did for me.

Rusty

You have to click on the image first to make it bigger then right click.  If the new tab title is MFTC-portable-workshop then you're good but if it says index.php (200 x 149) then you didn't click on it first to enlarge.  Clear as mud, right.

Trying this on a PC. Well it worked.
