This is a FYI posting.

My newest Rockler catalog arrived yesterday and my end of the day reading was looking at the catalog where I noticed on page 5 an item listed as "NEW" and is a 17 piece universal t-track kit.

When I saw the universal I thought of previous postings here and thought some of the experts in the subject might like to see this item.

BTW it is on sale right now for $19.99

Hi everyone,

As Ed pointed out the 17 piece T-track Set is listed as "new". For those who may have purchased the "old" 17 piece T-track Set from Rockler sometime in the past, the difference is in the track itself - The "old" track was 3/4" w x 1/2" deep and accepted 5/16" T-bolts. The "new" universal track is 3/4" w x 3/8" deep and accepts both 5/16" and 1/4" T-bolts and 1/4" hex bolts.

The new universal T-track sounds like a nice improvement - the only problem might be if you are trying to match it up with a section of the old style Rockler T-track on an existing jig or work surface. Just something to keep in the back of your mind if you (like me) are already using the old style track.

Best regards to all,

Dennis
