Hi everybody this is my 1st post on Sawmill Creek, I am learning woodworking in my spare time and this forum seems amazing for advice and ideas for a new starter such as myself. I am based in Oxfordshire in the UK but used to live in Denver Colorado for some time and this is when I very 1st started getting interested in wood working after working with wood floor installers.

So as I have already said I am based in the UK and wanted some help in understanding which T-Track to use, I want to try and avoid having numerous different size T-Tracks and fittings on future jigs and work tops. Is there a common size here in the UK that most woodworkers use?

I suppose I am aiming this question at forum members based in the UK;) as I know from working in the USA that the 2 countries do not share common materials when it comes to this type of thing:rolleyes:.

Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated :)

Welcome to SMC, Neil!

I'm not sure what the conventions are in the UK for tee-track, but the nice folks at Axminster (https://www.axminster.co.uk/) can probably help you with that. They seem to sell product from a company named UJK.

Can also check the forums at ukworkshop[dot]co[dot]uk

There's an Axminster not far from you in High Wycombe. Worth the visit.

(Please note a frequent consideration you may need to make when purchasing products is some are imperial and others metric, this is particularly applicable to dust extraction and thread sizes )
