Hi,

I will try to keep this list updated when I have new info. If anyone has any Festool Quick Clamp or Screw Clamp with T track combinations please post them.

T track and fit for the Festool Quick Clamps-

The T track in the pictures is Incra.





Fits the Incra with flat head or pan head screws.

Fits the Incra scale track with flat or pan head.

Fits Woodpeckers track with flat head.

Does not fit Kreg track at all.

Does not fit Lee Valley

Does not fit Rockler

Seth,

I can see several uses for a track table that can use Festool clamps. Listing the tracks that will and will not work is especially good!

Thanks,

Dan.

I used Qwas's pipe to align the plates and then cut a channel down all of them. I cut about a half inch of track to each side and re-installed them. This way you have a nice lengthwise cut that is not hindered by the t track, but still allows for clamps to be moved back and forth, Eric

Update-


I now have newer Festool screw type clamps. All of the Festool clamps now have the same profile and will slide into the Incra and Woodpecker's T Tracks listed in the first post.

Older Festool screw type clamps had a slightly different profile and did not fit in the tracks. I do not know when the change took place.

While taking the pics I also noted that the Quick Clamps have almost an inch more capacity than the short screw type. I had always thought they were the same.

My old school Festool screw clamps fit Incra T track Plus (the one with the scale perfectly. Both side, although there would only be room for flat head screws in the shallow channel, but that is the one under the scale so it would not normally be available.
