t-track for seneca guide questions

[mattdh]

what size t-tracks do you guys buy for the senecas? i was thinking a set of 24in and 48in? and are the rulers (or tape measures) in the inca t-tracks worth a darn? looks like the would move really easy and not stay in place moving the track around or are the in place pretty firmly- is there adhesive keeping them in place?

I use 24 and 36 inch ones.  

The rulers don't move too easily.  I think they are 12" or maybe 18".

I like the Seneca guides.  Just used them on some shelving and it was VERY simple to setup and use.

There is no adhesive holding the lexan scales in place, but you can simply place cellophane tape over the point where your scales overlap.  Not an issue.

The scales come in 16" lengths.  They offer left-to-right and right-to left scales in ranges of 0-16, 16-32, 32-48, 48-64 and 64-80.  Metric scales come in ranges 0-41, 40-82 and 81-123mm.  

Keep in mind that you will need to consider the width of you guide rail when figuring the scale you will need -- you will be cutting off the portion of scale from 0 to about 8" or so depending on how the stop correspond...  Hopefully Ron or Ryan will elaborate on this aspect, as I don't own their parallel guides and am not sure the exact amount that needs cut off to work with their product.

Just bought a pair each of 24" and 48"', seemed like the best combination for me.

I went with the 36" version.  There are directions on the Seneca site on how to calibrate (for lack of a better term)
