4. Sąranka ir diegimas
The POWERTEC Universal T-Tracks are designed for easy integration into your woodworking setup. They can be embedded into a workstation board or attached directly onto a tabletop.
4.1. Tvirtinimo paviršiaus paruošimas
Ensure your workstation board or tabletop has a flat, stable surface. If embedding the T-track, route a groove that matches the dimensions of the T-track (3/4-inch wide by 3/8-inch deep). For optimal stability, a minimum table thickness of 1 inch is recommended to provide sufficient material for screw engagement.
4.2. Cutting the T-Track (If Necessary)
The aluminum T-track can be cut to your desired length using a standard carbide blade on a miter saw. Measure carefully before cutting to ensure an accurate fit for your application.
4.3. Mounting the T-Track
- Position the T-track in the routed groove or on the surface where it will be installed.
- Align the pre-drilled mounting holes with the surface.
- Secure the T-track using #6 wood screws (not included). Ensure the screws are appropriate length for your material thickness to prevent damage.
