If you’ve ever faced challenges with fixed clamps or struggled to adjust your setup for different project sizes, T-Tracks offer significant flexibility. By integrating T-Tracks into your CNC router, your clamp placement is fast and easy on the project. And they can be removed just as quickly.
Basically, you can quickly position clamps exactly where needed, adjust them on the fly, and remove them with ease once the job is done.
There are several benefits to using T-tracks outside of rapid project and clamp placement. The first is. because the tracks sit below the spoilboard surface, they do not interfere with anything on the spoilboard. And they allow you to use other clamping methods when needed, such as the CA glue method, fasteners, or double-sided tape.
They are especially beneficial for CNC routers with larger work surfaces, like the Altmill CNC router by Sienci Labs (shown below). At some point, we have o replace our spoilboard when it gets too many cuts in it. A large workspace means the whole board gets replaced.
When you use T-tracks, you only need to replace sections as needed. This uses less material and, frankly, is easier to handle.
