I had bought the t-track to build a drill press table about six months ago, and just got around to it last night. The table is made of two pieces of 1/2” MDF toped off with formica, that was in the garage when I moved into the house. Now I just have to come up with a good fence design.

Good work, Jamie! I’m gonna do that, one of these days. I have to, I’m tired of saying I’m gonna do it.

Good use of MDF,, and that is the only use for it. Stable surfaces for jigs and sleds and tables.

nicely done. I’m going to build something very similar. I have a shop notes plan that shows a fence made of two pieces of 3/4” plywood glued together. There are two dadoes cut in the boards to accept a bolt for the t-track. PM me your email and I’m happy to send it to you.

Probably a dumb question, but what indeed is that removable piece for? ie. is it designed specifically for something?

The formica is a nice touch.
For a fence, I’m with Cory … the one from ShopNotes has served me well for a long time.

The removable piece is a sacrificial back, like AronK said. Also it can be removed to accommodate a sanding drum.
