Drill Press Table #3: Going T-Track Crazy

« Part 2: Over Engineered ZCI Part 3 of Drill Press Table series Part 4: Fencing it in! »

First, I grabbed my block plane and smoothing plane, and cleaned up my recent banding addition. It came out quite good looking.

With a recent post to Woodnet pointing out you can get fairly cheap T-Track from McMaster-Carr, and myself in possession of a new Freud LU90M blade, I decided to completely overdo the top with T-track for fence and hold down positions. Whee!

First up, dado up some grooves.

I also decided I wanted my intersections to be nice and neat. No fiddling and moving holdowns. I wanted to go right around corners, so I spent some time mitering nice neat junctions.

And finally, trimmed the ends and filed it smooth to the edges.

And finally, bolted back in place, with a holdown for show.

That’ll do it for today. The fence can wait for tomorrow.

And I thought that I over engineered and over dressed my jigs.. I just love the mitred intersections.. sweet idea.
Exquisitely done so far.

I’ve seen ready made intersections for sale , but your custom made ones are very nice. Great job overall : )
