T-Track to fit Festool clamps?

[Steven J Corpstein]

Has anyone found a source to buy T-Track that the Festool clamps fit
into? I have some ideas for some jigs that I would like to use such a
system. I've been Googling, but no luck so far.

Steven,

It's not a 'T-Track' as woodworkers are used to but...I know from experience that the 15 series extrusion profiles will accept the Festool 'F' clamps. The extrusion is available from 8020 dot net or from McMaster Carr or Ried tool.
Just make sure you get the 15 series as the 10 series is too small.
The 15 series is sized in multiples of 1.5" with a slot width of 0.320" to accept 5/16-18 hardware, and the 10 series is sized in multiples of 1.0" and accepts 1/4-20 hardware such as brass toilet bolts.

It is expensive and a bit large for WW jigs, but it works with the Festool Clamps.

Good Luck,

Pete

8020 (http://www.8020.net/) is pretty much the most comprehensive source.

Thanks for the info Peter as I'm organizing a few things this year and they involve fixtures, tracks etc.

8020 sells surplus on Ebay, too, under a name like "8020 Garage Sale". Its used and/or does not meet finish standards. Great place to get the stuff cheap, though mine is all 10-series.
