David,

T-slot Nuts can be inserted into the aluminium profile groove. T-slot nuts are useful for securing components onto aluminium profiles, as well as joining two profiles together, by creating a clamping force for a screw in the groove. M3, M4, M5, M6 and M8 screws can be used depending on which T-slot Nut you choose.

You can make your own t-tracks---

  • TSLOTS CATALOG - TSLOTS Aluminum Extrusion Manufacturer.
  • Featuring an extruded aluminum track design that accepts all 3 of the major accessory fasteners (1/4 in. Hex bolts, and 5/16 in. Bolts), you'll find that this multi-track offers optimal versatility.

by adding the applicable 'grooves' in wood, (mdf, particle board or plywood).

Malamine coated particle board make nice fences---

the malamine reduces sliding friction.

Adding t-slots in wood is less costly to metal t-tracks, if you looking to keeping the costs down.

The t-slot can be simply made by making a 3/8' wide slot, then followed by the t-slot cutter.

T-slots are very versatile---

useful in a workstation, fences, jigs, fixtures, and the like.

In a worktop, the slots can be parallel and perpendicular to an edge,

as well as having t-slots that cross each other at the desired locations.

Handy to have in a table saw auxiliary fence, to hold feather boards, and the like.

A t-slot can be made, using a handheld router or on a router table.

When a wood jig or fixture wears-out, just make a new one.

TIP: coat the slots with 'Seal-Coat', so as to seal the wood fibers, to reduce 'chip-out'---

this will prolong the useful life of the t-slots when in wood.
