That's a really great idea using T-track!
That would make it so much easier for people to make!

YES,
It's a router, doesn't matter if t-track fence is out of square...it's important the distance between center of the bit and fences.
once your router-bit is in place, for example in the middle of a bottom of a door, fence only have the duty to guide the bit during the routing process (it's better to have 2fences like mine, no way bit lose it's path). in this case must be important the fence are parallel each other.
if you remove one t-track fence and leave only one, you can also use this jig for tenoning...that's why I choose to add a handle, in order to keep the jig flush to the surface... in this case i prefer to 90 the fence with a square against the polycarbonate. it's a cnc milled part.

Yes, but the open tracks in the polycarbonate you have there to be able to adjust the fences against your workpiece, right?. So, t-track fences must go other way around, up down in your picture, not left right as you have them.

Whew - I thought my logic was way off, and I was really missing something. The first picture it did not look like the boards were long enough to make it lengthwise. I gave up trying to figure it out. Thank you for updating the picture, makes perfect sense now and is exactly what I was thinking it should be. Nice jig.
