hand tools, lathe, table saw, router table, drill press, band saw, and various smaller “benchtop” type tools.
The outfeed table has been one of the better things I’ve added to my shop. It ends up being my assembly table, cleaning station, and general-purpose worksurface.
The first thing I like is how well they hold down materials. Something like this rail and stile is easily held flat for either work or for a glue-up. And, when you pair the Matchfit clamps with the XPAD head, you get a ton of clamping flexibility. What’s the XPAD you ask? It’s that little green pad on the end of the clamps. You’ll notice there are small “V” notches in it. This allows you to position the XPAD on the corner of a workpiece. Then, as you clamp, you’re applying directional clamping force. Not only is the workpiece being pushed down into the table, but you’re also applying an inward force as well. This helps with pushing joints tight, or holding them in place as the clamps are applied
With any standard 1/2” 14-degree dovetail router bit, you can create your own tracks, eliminating the need for expensive aluminum tracks. It’s an entire system designed to give you all the functionality of t-track and t-track accessories, at a fraction of the cost.
