Since I live a hundred miles from Tampa or Orlando I order most of my woodworking supplies. I use the Rockler T track, one of the resons I like theirs is toilet flange bolts fit the track and are cheaper then the bolts they sell and can be bought anywhere. Also I can use carriage bolts with just a little grinding on the heads.

Great find George, they have some great stuff. One of their tracks is specially made for Sears equipment and doesn't have a T-slot. That is just the type of difference that is necessary, but confuses me when I look at T-tracks. Luckily they list the fact that it was designed for a Sears set-up.

For a kick, check out their T-Shirt page. It has some doosies. (sp) (Tape measure (T) is my favorite.) :D

I dont know what everyone wants to do with the T track but if it is for making different jigs and you need different lengths Ie 8 foot. You should really check these guys out. http://search.stores.ebay.com/8020-Inc- ... 25QQsofpZ0

This might be more specific of what you are looking for http://cgi.ebay.com/80-20-T-Slot-Alumin ... m153.l1262

Great Prices and Great People do deal with alway get what I expected or sometimes better. I built my CNC Router out of their product. See Pic

Thanks for all the sites, I put them in my woodworking files when I am looking for special items. I have finally had some time in the shop and hope to get some Jigs I have always wanted built. Still have two ER's to rebuild yet but have my trusty 510 and a Goldie up and working great. Have two of the ER's I am using so now I have four set up and it is saving a lot of time not changing set ups. Will let you know how the granddaughter Ark turns out in about two more weekend.
Thanks
Bill :)
