Game Changer!

I rarely write reviews, but I feel I need to help spread the word. I'm not sure where I first saw the Woodanchor system. Wherever it was I knew it was a well-executed system that I needed to incorporate. I'm glad I did. Prior to using the system, I had designed a table to use with my CNC machine that used aluminum T-slot channels that I tried to epoxy to a sheet of MDF. I was never happy with that system for a variety of reasons.

It's been a week since I remade my tables incorporating the Woodanchor system and it's truly a game-changer. In a nutshell, EVERYTHING simply WORKS.

Thanks for providing a tool that is truly going to increase my productivity.

Best T-track like system I ever had

I backed the original Kickstarter and recently ran out of hardware. I got a second router bit just to have one permanently with the router lift and another one in my systainer with the OF1400. I use the ToolQuest system for everything I would have used aluminum T-track before and more.I can highly recommend this system.

Sliding Nuts for Fixturing Slot

Used with the slot cut with the WoodAnchor fixturing bit, the sliding nuts and button head screws make the perfect clamping solution.

A new era

Been looking to break free from the limitations of T track. This new system looks to be the answer. The nuts are a little spendy but saves the cost of an aluminum track. No limits on the length of track and excellent holding power. Bit cuts like a dream. Highly recommended.

Good stuff - well thought out design

My intent here is to review the entire 'system' rather than any specific item.

The selection of all hardware to be stainless steel is noteworthy. The parts are quality made(no burrs etc.) and dimensionally consistent.

All the different washers are a good example. Very unique parts not commonly found in your local real hardware store(real , not orange or blue big box ).

The anchor nut itself is a major development.

The screws are first quality.

I expect any additions to the mix will be of the same quality.

WoodAnchor Fixturing Slot Router Bit

Great bit. It is a Whiteside which says it all. Very sharp, well balanced and designed to cut a WoodAnchor slot in a single pass. I put it to the test with my CNC router water cooled spindle, Milwaukee table router and Bosch hand held router. In each case I got a nice smooth cut in a single pass with router motors ranging from 2.25 to 3.5 horsepower. I found it to work equally well in MDF, Baltic Birch plywood or fine hardwoods to include oak, maple and beech. I have probably cut over 100 feet of track and the bit still preforms as it did when it was new.

Premium Starter Kit

This is an extensive kit with great value for anyone who wants to start using the WoodAnchor system. Its everything you need to get started and enough quantities of the most often used articles to accommodate a very wide range of projects . I find that sliding nuts are like clamps in that you can never have enough and the eight offered in this kit are just the right amount to go with the assortment of screws, threaded rods, washers and knobs. Other standard 1/4-20 fasteners will work but these are premium heavy duty hardware with a great fit and finish selected to specifically work in the WoodAnchor system. I use something out of this kit almost every day.

Nice low height CNC clamps, stable & well manufactured

The EdgeHugger clamp system is a great alternative to classical T-track clamps. They are shallow and strong. They work great if you don't mind having a good assortment of different lengths M6 countersink bolts to accommodate different thick material. We decided to use different T-nuts though, which are larger in size and with springs to better accommodate our Axiom CNC machine.

Thanks for the detailed review and the photo — it’s great to see the clamp heads at work on an Axiom CNC, especially with the spring-loaded T-nuts. If you’d like to help other Axiom owners, email support@toolquest.net with your Axiom model and the T-nut make and model, and we’ll add the combination to our list of compatible machines and T-nuts. On the clamp screws: we just added the EdgeHugger® 36-piece clamp screw assortment to our product line — it comes in a small organizer box, so the right length is always on hand and easy to find.

Will not work for me need to return this

Thanks for letting us know, and sorry for the hassle. We saw your return request come in and sent return instructions to the email on your order — please check there (and your spam folder, just in case). Your replacement order of Track Boss™ M6-1 T-nuts has already shipped, so you should have the right T-nuts in hand shortly. If anything’s still off, just reply to that email and we’ll sort it out.
