Sturdee, with all due respect, I prefer Barry's method. The Lump hammer is the universal adjuster in my garage! Nothing stays straight around the lumpy!

Off Topic slightly
We had our Scout troop preparing for a camp last week and inspected their packs, one had his 2kg tent with a bloody great lump hammer rolled up in it to put the pegs in with, weighed more than the tent.
Universal adjuster indeed

on tv they showed a really simple way to do it, bolt it to a large-ish piece of 12mm or thicker mdf and that's that. you can make the base as big as you want/can, the bigger it is the more stable it'll be. same goes for bench drill presses too. you'll have to countersink the bolt heads so that they don't protrude below the mdf base but that's easily done with a chisel Originally Posted by mkat

I inserted two 3/8 x 5/8 Loxins into the concrete floor and then bolted it down with two 3/8 bolts.

Hi Bazza,
What size t-track do you use, 22mm x 9mm or 32mm x 12mm or other?
Also, how did you cut the hole in the alumunium clamps? Did you drill then saw/file or is there a better way?
Regards,
Michael

I used the 22mm x 9mm sail track. Originally Posted by mkat
