Get Woodworking in Williamstown has a box of the Triton style router table switches sitting near the counter, not sure what they're worth, but he has them in stock.

Shane,
I got mine, Triton switch, as a spare part from Carabtec or you can go to Atkin carlyle and pay a whole lot more for a foot switch if you think it would be more useful.
Kind regards

Call triton or as they call themselves now GMC, I think there located in melbourne just look it up on the net and they sell and ship them straight away from memory its about 30 aust for a complete switch assembly as currently fitted to the triton units. They also sell any spare part and ship it anywhere capital city wise regardless of size for 5 aust now thats not bad service

Bump
Timbcon have T Track from Torquata in their advert in the latest AWW.
Seems like a fair price, I'm thinking about getting some for my, as yet unfinished, router table.
I was looking for some pics of how it was used & found some in this thread so I've given it a bump.
Any body else got any ideas for T Track, Tee Track, Sail Track, Mitre Track?Cliff.
If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

I use it quite extensively on my router table, and particularily on my router table fence. Good for stops, and for 90 degree fixtures (similar to a mitre gauge in practice, but it moves with the fence, rather than in a separate slot, and the fence and slot don't have to be parallel).
You could get some more to make an elaborate drill press table."Clear, Ease Springs"

With regards the sail track
Capral appears to have changed their product/description codes - I quoted the old numbers etc to be told that the product code is now 810957 and the product description is EE4204 6106 T6 - their computer system may not locate the item under the old number EE4204 5106 T6 . - if you give them the wrong #'s apparently some say they have never heard of it
Regards

PS have used quite a bit of it - you do need to drill and countersink your own holes - only problem is finding the correct counter sink screws at a reasonable length

I bought some sail track from Capral yesterday: $13.50 for 4 metres in Brookvale. I find that I use it on many jigs and don't need to drill holes unless there's some stress applied like on the workbench. On my saw fence and cross-cut sled I just route the insert and glue the track in place with "liquid nails".
Where stress IS an issue try the 2 part epoxy fixing method which I have tried successfully and recommend. I needed to use epoxy fixing because my (supported) bench-top is only 19mm thick. Consult our resident expert NewLou on epoxy in this forum http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ght=part+epoxydave
nothing is so easy to do as when you figure out the impossible.

Okay okay ahem... back on track fellas!!
The challenge was to create the Ideal Router Table here... tangent tangents tangents
So aside from Harrys bushpig design (Love it by the way cant work out how youve got the router to stay put am presently thinkin superglue or tarzans grip but could be wrong )... so where were we?
So wheres our thread starterupperer? Come on mate you need to define where we are at!! ah buggar it Im a bit groggy from reading the previous 11 pages but I'll give it a whirl
First I think we had pretty much decided that a 32mm malamite or postform top was the go
Second I think its almost unanamous that no mitre track was needed
Third a high fence was required
Fourth?
So what am I thinking? well havin been muckin about with ideas for the ideal router table for some time Im thinking along these lines...
1) An old steel framed desk like the old post office desks... rip the top off and keep the steel frame
2) As the frame is a bit low at 26in high make some wooden legs with a block on the base slip them over the steel legs and raise the table to say 32in
3) get an appropriate sized length of 32mm malamite or postform stuff this would be around 4 1/2ft long by around 2ft 4in wide to fit the steel frame
4) make some internal legs and fit them to the streel frame
5) make doors and drawers fit to between uprights
6) get some 50kl locking wheels and fit to base of legs
7) make some fold out tables for infeed outfeed these should be as long as the table is high less an inch and joined to the table by say piano hinges so that they fold down and out of the way when not in use
8) cut and fit router lift or router insert
9) cut and fit mitre slots
10) make fence or buy one fit said fence
11) make extention table fences to be removable when not in use
12) install some low profile (set low in the timber) rollers to the front and ends of both extention tables
13) install Triton switch to front of table
14) install router
WHEW!! Was worried Id end up with 13 for a tick there... ahem so have I forgotten anything?
Ive drawn a sketch of what Im thinkin and will either find it or draw it again to give you a clearer ideaBelieve me there IS life beyond marriage!!! Relax breathe and smile learn to laugh again from the heart so it reaches the eyes!!

Ding the router is just held by the same screws that hold the factory plastic slip base on.
I'll get around 1 day to building the new replacement for the "bushpig", incorperating my Uni-lift thats starting go rusty on the guide bars!....................................................................

Relax breathe and smile learn to laugh again from the heart so it reaches the eyes!!

UniLIFT
Gee, I was about to offer a buy-back, UniLIFT's have been in hot demand lately, but the good news is that we got a new shipment yesterday and have more on the way.
Also with the discussion about T Track, whilst ours is more expensive than sail track, it is the genuine Incra product, designed for the clamping forces etc. that are likely to be imposed on it. It also is completely compatible with our UHMW slides, clamps, stops. nuts, knobs, etc. @ $23.50 for a 1220mm length it is really good value. Scale track is also available with METRIC scales @ $37.50; 450, 600 & 900's are also available here.
Great to see the innovative (and varied) ideas on RT design, I guess it all gets back to what the most common use of the table will be.
We will have a commentary on setting up the new Incra RT stand available shortly.
