T Slot Channel
Posted By admin On 12/04/22The INCRA Build-It Modular Jig & Fixture Platform System is a highly versatile NEW method for quickly and easily creating an extremely wide variety of common and special purpose jigs, fixtures and those one-of-a-kind work helpers that you typically find hanging on the walls and rafters in just about any woodshop. Click pictures for enlargements!
But it’s the NEW INCRA Build-It Panels and T-Slot Panel Connectors that put the punch in this system. The Build-It Panels are pre-cut and pre-drilled to instantly accept all of the components of the system.
You can add a Miter Slider in seconds and it’s automatically square to your saw blade with no tedious measuring or drilling required, then mount a fence in moments using the counterbored mounting holes. The 'glue' that holds everything together is INCRA’s innovative NEW T-Slot Panel Connector. These specially designed aluminum components serve to simultaneously interconnect the panels and provide a rock solid T-Slot for adding and holding jig accessories, fences, stops and Build-It Clamps.
With INCRA’s NEW Build-It Modular Jig & Fixture Platform System you just connect the parts with a screwdriver and the included fasteners. The possibilities are endless!
We recommend to start with our starter kit!
Throat dimensions are basic. When slots are intended to be used for holding only, tolerances can be 0.0 + 0.010 inch or H12 Metric (ISO/R286); when intended for location, tolerance can be 0.0 + 0.001 inch or H8 Metric. Corners of T-Slots may be square or may be rounded or broken to the indicated maximum dimensions at the manufacturer's.
- T-Slot Aluminum Extrusions Using aluminum t-slot and one of our many fasteners or connectors, you can arrange your aluminum extrusions in numerous ways to create structures – from OSHA and ANSI approved machine safety guarding, workstations, desk modules, climate control enclosures, material handling racks to laser enclosures.

Jigs and saw table on picture not included.
The heavy steel construction is more rigid than any wooden or plastic runners, and they're not susceptible to changes in humidity or temperature. Miter Slider SE bars are drilled and tapped with two separate bolt patterns: (4) #10-24 holes attach the bars quickly to your own custom jigs and they also match perfectly with the INCRA Build-It Panels. These #10 holes are spaced identically to the original Miter Slider, so the Miter Slider SE is a direct, bolt-on upgrade to jigs and fixtures you may have already constructed Miter Sliders. There's also a second set of (3) 1/4'-20 holes evenly spaced along the length to accept knobs and other fasteners commonly used when building jigs and fixtures.
Long-wearing Nylon GlideLOCK adjusting discs conveniently adjust from the top and provide a precise fit in the miter slot of many table saws, router tables, and band saws, and the discs also give the bars a smooth, low-friction travel. The 18' bar has two pairs of discs, and the 25.5' bar has three pairs. Both sizes include removable T-slot retaining clips for BOTH ends of the bar for superior stability of larger jigs.
The Miter Slider SE will fit square-sided miter slots approximately 3/4' wide, 3/8' (19.05 x 9.52 mm) deep, and with or without a 15/16'-wide T-slot at the bottom. The GlideLOCK adjustment will accommodate slots measuring 0.740' to 0.765' (18.8 to 19.4 mm) in actual width.The Miter Slider SE is not recommended for stationary jigs that must be locked into position within a miter slot. The standard aluminum Miter Slider is the best choice for these applications.
Width is slightly undersized (18.7 mm) to support smooth action.

These slide nuts made of galvanised steel and fitted with a stainless steel spring plate allow you to extend the application range of your Incra T-track by accessories based on an 8 mm thread. The slide nuts are provided with a spring that exerts an upward force against the track. This makes it easier to reposition them along the track. Occasionally the spring plate will prove an impediment, for instance, if the spring catches in open mounting holes or on slightly protruding fastening screws. In this case simply grip the spring plate with flat pliers and twist it off. The slide nut at the bottom of the picture is shown with the spring removed.

All dimensionsSet for Incra T-tracks: Slide nut with M8 thread, M8x10 and M8x20 socket head screws This mounting kit provides a simple and inexpensive means of attaching toggle clamps to Incra T-tracks.
1 x slide nut M8
1 x socket head screw M8 x 10 mm
1 x socket head screw M8 x 20 mm
Newer Bessey toggle clamps have a central hole in the base plate that allows them to be fixed to multifunction tables. The same fixing method can also be used for Incra T-tracks. For this application you need the slide nut and the 10 mm long socket head screw.
For more versatility use the clamps in conjunction with a small 10 mm thick slotted board, eg, measuring 150 x 80 mm. This increases the clamping height and, more importantly, lets you use the board as a stop for repeat clamping operations. For this application you need the slide nut and the 20 mm long socket head screw. The board is not part of the kit.
T Track Aluminum Channels
Tip: The bottom holes of the Incra T-track are not countersunk, so we recommend that you use 3 mm panhead screws to fix the T-track in the slot of your worktop. The heads project 2 mm. You can stop the slide nut from catching on the screw heads by removing the spring from the slide nut with a pair of flat pliers. Better still, you can countersink the holes, because you do not have to remove the springs if you use countersunk screws. The countersink must be sufficiently small to get to the bottom of the T-track. Suitable are the Löher taper and deburring countersinks with a maximum diameter of 8 mm.
You can use Incra knobs, brackets and hold-down clamps in panels, ie, without using aluminium T-tracks, by machining your own t-track directly into the panel with this T-Slot Cutters. This custom T-slot takes standard imperial 1/4-20 hex bolts and nuts. Bear in mind that in this case you cannot apply the same force as you would with the Incra T-tracks.
