Wondered if anyone had any experience with the MagSwitch Track.  Comes in 18" & 36" and is supposed to take just about any attachment on the market.  Evidently one side takes T bolts and 1/4 hex and the other standard T bolts, 5/16 and Kreg clamps. 
 
i dont know about the track part but i have two of the mag jigs (bigger of the two) . it holds like you wouldnt believe, iv put it on an RSJ any put a nice bit of my body weight on it. those 50mm square ones would have serious power.
be carfull not to have them turned on but not on any metal as they will pull them self to it at an awfull speed and pince whayt ever is in the way
 
The more I looked into the track the more it seems that it might work for a lot of attachments that limit other tracks.  They have a pretty good description of how it works on their website.  I have no affiliation but it seems to me a better solution for me since I have some Kreg clamps and some Festool and DeWalt clamps too.  That along with the Qwas Dogs should give me a pretty universal setup.
 
I don't have experience with the track product as such, but I did buy their bandsaw fence, which is made of similar track.  I had a good deal of trouble getting the fence to sit square on the table and to stay that way.  I think a key factor will be how well the gizmo that holds it square works.

What I wound up doing was building my own fence out of plywood and melamine scraps and putting a couple of the big magswitchs on it.  It works like a champ, never moves until you turn the magswitch off.
 
Jesse, I wondered if you tried their "Resaw Fence" instead of the "Bandsaw Fence"?
