TRACKTUBES QUADTRACK™: The Most Versatile Extrusion for Woodworkers in Decades!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- TRACKTUBES™ are a high quality, clear anodized aluminum extrusions, manufactured in the USA. They are sized to fit in the notches of commercially available sawhorses that are designed to fit dimensional 2x4's for work support.
The QUADTRACK™, includes 4 T-tracks, one on each side of the profile. The t-tracks are sized to fit most of the F-style track clamps used with track saw guide rails and MFT style tops, including Festool, Bessey, DeWalt, Makita, and Micro-jig. The track will also accept 1/4"-20 TPI hex-head nuts and bolts and other accessories designed for 1/4" T-track.
The new QUADTRACK™ also includes a "screw boss" at each end. This hole is designed to be used for attaching the optional end caps, which provide a finished look to the tube ends. The end caps can be attached using the push-pins provided or tapped with a 1/4-20 or 6mm thread for using a screw to attach. The extrusion profile also has a slight recess at the top of the extrusion for adding a 1/2" adhesive tape measure, making it perfect for using as a fence for your miter saw. The uses are only limited to your needs and creativity. They are a great addition to any woodworking shop, especially when used in conjunction with our TRACKTOP MFT™ for a portable MFT workstation.

"That's fancy extrusion industry terminology for a hole..." LOL. Seriously, these videos are really well thought out. Concise, not a wasted word, with rapid demos of everything being discussed. Hope you sell a ton of 'em.
Thank you for watching Strat. I appreciate your kind words. It's really nice to hear from you again.
I'm brand new to wood working, but this thing has me excited. I ca't wait to get my green hands on a few.
Awesome product. Could easily turn the quad track into a great slab flattening station
Fred - glad you came out with the Quadtrack. I was one of the first customers of Glenn for the original tracks with one t-slot. I work out of a garage shop and keep three MFT slabs on a ceiling cable storage system. I use Bora Speedhorses and can build or take down this 4'x8' table in less than 5 minutes with my 90" tubes. I use a couple of Festool dominos and two Festool connectors to tightly join the slabs. I liked them so much I bought a second pair and cut them both in two so I can make a one or two slab table for use around the house. Very versatile product. For the time this saves me and the large workspace it created for me these aluminum tubes have been priceless to me. I'm close to purchasing a set of the new Quadtracks to replace my current single slot tracks. Thanks-Mike
Hey Mike. Very nice to meet you. It's really neat when I hear form the very early adopters of TRACKTUBES. I really appreciate the kind words and testimonial. Glenn is an incredible human and has been a tremendous mentor to me. I've learned a lot from him. His brain never stops designing! Please stay in touch and let me know if there is anything I can ever do for you.
I invested in a set of 1 1/2” x 3” extrusions from 80/20 years ago and they have been very handy. They have all the same features as these but they have 2 slots on the broad sides.
Thanks for watching DP. If you ever get tired of your current extrusions let me know and I will make you a deal. I'd love to convert you to TRACKTUBES.
I didn't really know what you're track tube products were really about Fred, but now I get it! Very versatile. Great to. see you go from strength to strength - Ben/Matt(UK)
Ben!!! So nice to hear from you. I hope you are doing well across the pond. Thanks for checking in!
you can only GROW from here-----great product rick
Rick!!!! Thank you for your support and encouragement!
Welcome back!
Been following your channel since your pole barn build...
Tom!!!! Great to hear from you again. I appreciate you hanging in there with me all these years.
Great stuff buddy. And SO Glad it is, "Made in the USA!"
Jet!!!! Nice to hear from you. Thanks for watching.
Saw this and thought wow this would be a great upgrade to the dewalt jobsite rack and pinion fence. I know mine and I’m sure a lot of others have issues with it not being square. As far as I’m aware there’s no fix for it
Thanks for checking in Imow. I'd be interested in learning more about your ideas of how to address that with the QUADTRACK. Why don't you send me a note through the website and let's start a conversation about how we can come up with a solution and how I can help make that happen.
I like these, I think they are a good price. Even if you compare them to traditional 80/20. I will have to give them a try but for a slightly different end use.
I’m so excited! I just bought my set of track tubes today!
Andrew!!! Thank you for the big order! I really do appreciate it. Can't wait to see how you use your setup.
@@GotItMade honestly I’d have picked up more, but your out of the router sled at this time ;-)
Nice Idea!
Now we need a european reseller/Importeur.
Very cool. Well done. Hope you sell a ton.
Thanks Witt. I appreciate you watching.
Great product. I intend to offer it as an option.
Thanks for watching GI.
Awesome tool!
Thanks Mudd. One of these days when I get my head above water we will catch up proper and not with my one sentence text replies. :-)
@@GotItMade Hit that hustle, brother
Hello, again, Fred! I’m liking the looks and applications for this extrusion. When you sent me the pics awhile back, my hope was that there would be a way to attach extrusions at 90 degrees to each other. This feature would be ideal for attaching small extension wings onto the track top. If you utilize your longer tubes, the gaps between the main top and the wings could be used to attach a stepped-down/recessed storage tray/shelf for tools, small cutoffs, or even a tool like the Kreg Foreman that would benefit from a larger work surface when drilling pocket holes in larger work pieces. If used with vertical supports to the floor, another use would be an in feed/out feed table for a planer or table saw. Also liking the idea of mounting a tube with the measuring tape to the TrackTop as a fence/stop block setup for the track saw. Looking forward to picking up some of your products soon! Keep up the innovation!
Barak!!!! Nice to hear from you. Things have come a long way since we last spoke. The new tubes are at the anodizer and I am going to send out the pre-order offer with discount in a couple of days. Probably ship in May. I haven't done anything with the foreman but we have tinted around with the Castle 110 for a setup in the TRACKTUBES system. It's pretty slick. Thank you for all your support and encouragement.
I’d like to upgrade to a Castle machine someday. They seem an improvement for sure.
Glad to be an encouragement! I like to support American small business when I can.
some examples of how to use them would be nice, otherwise I have no clue what to do with it.
I'd be interested in seeing a comparison between these extrusions and 4040/4080 extrusions.
You could use these to make a simple, but very straight, router flattening jig for slabs
Thanks for watching Andrew. Please visit our website and instagram. We have offered a slab flattener and will soon e offering it in kit form. Also watch the end of my TRACKTOP video where I show an example of how the system could work for small projects.
great job boss, very professional, maybe you should also go into doing commercials😊
Thank you Bobby. If this doesn't work out maybe I could be the late night guy on QVC. :-)
@@GotItMade 😂😂😂😂
This looks great! Can I purchase these in the uk?
Track top ✅ festool ✅ guide rail ✅. So when will this be in the Netherlands to complete my mft 😬😬
Looks good! When will they be available in the UK?
Hey Marty. Thank you for watching. My next growth goal is to find an extruder and distributor in Europe. I have some road to travel before I get there but its definitely on the bucket list!
I'm thinking this could be a good frame for a router sled for use in slab flattening. How long could you extend these and maintain the stiffness to hold the top flat level?
hey, where can i get that hinge for the guide rail from to use with tracktubes?
Following along, I already have a MFT/3 but like this design also. I would love to see the price of that router sled come down to a more reasonable price. Other than that it looks like a great product.
Thank you for keeping up with us Trick. I really do appreciate it. We are working on a kit for the sled that will hopefully bring the cost down some. A lot going on at the moment but hope to work on the sled kit in a few weeks.
Great design, shame you don’t ship internationally
are they available in UK ?
Can this be purchased in the uk or do you ship to UK
These tubes are just a more expensive version of European style structural aluminum extrusions which have been used for more than 30 years to rapidly assemble platforms and machine tool frames.
I've never see those but would like to. If you are talking about the 80/20 style extrusion then TrackTubes are much different and more suited for woodworking applications. Thanks for watching.
You are right. This kind of industrial extrusions are common over here in the EU. Maybe there are some slight differences in the slots
I can saw a straight line with a circular saw, a straight 1x4 and two clamps. Board and clamps less than $15. Standard extrusions like 80/20 have been around for decades. Will this?
Sounds like you have a system that works for you. That's great. TRACKTUBES™ have been around close to ten years. I'm surprised you haven't heard of them until now but glad you finally did. Thanks for watching.
How are these different from standard 80/20 type extrusions?
Thanks for watching D. Our extrusions are lighter and the tracks accept standard F-Style clamps and really available off the shelf hardware. Please get on our subscriber list and follow on instagram to learn more about the product line.
Hey there.Can I get those in canada
How do we get in Canada?
just looked at the website and it showed everything out of stock ??????
Thanks for watching the video and checking out the website. They will be offered for pre-sale to our subscribers this week with a discount. If you are interested please sing up on the subscriber list because that email and discount code is going out on 4/3.
Do you sell in in the UK?
Not yet. Working on manufacturing and distribution there.
The website indicates on 4/3/24 that all of the track tubes are "out of stock" and therefore unavailable.
Yes, it also indicates that pre-orders will be accepted on 4/4/24. That's when the email with the discount code goes out to all of our website subscribers. Orders will begin shipping the first of May. If you are interested at all in the product then please get on that list soon so you don't miss out on the discount code. Thank you for watching the video.
Great product but for almost $400 for two 6’ pieces might be a tough sell for some guys.
Incorrect. They are sold in pairs so the price is currently $179 for two pieces. Thanks for watching Michael.
why are you advertising if these are all out of stock
Thanks for watching Smex. Pre-orders start tomorrow. The tubes are at the anodizer now and will be ready to ship in a few weeks. That's why I encourage folks to get on the subscriber list so they can get the email with the discount offer. Why don't you get on the list. I don't spam folks. Just send out things when new stuff and sales come.
Good deal I will keep these in mind for use when building MFT. How much of a lead time to you need to allow for when ordering them.
For the launch in is about 3-4 weeks. After that I normally ship items same or next day.
Very expensive.
$179.00 for 1 piece of 72 inch extrusion
I believe they’re sold in pairs, if I’m not mistaken.
No, they are sold in pairs so you get two pieces.
Just buy regular 45x90 mm extrusion. You can build your own table.
I stand corrected
And now your "sold out"
This is a new product launch. Take a look at the product page on the website and you will see that pre-orders will open this week. In fact, the email got out to our subscribers tomorrow morning with a good discount code so if you have any interest please get on the list soon so you don't miss that. Orers will ship first of May. Thank you for watching the video Rick.
It's pretty useless if you have no stock to sell people.🤔🤫
This is a pre-launch. If you didn't read it on the website, pre-orders begin tomorrow and will ship first of May. There will be an email going out in the morning to our website subscribers with a discount code. If you are interested in the product and the discount then please get on the list today. I explain how in the video. Thanks for watching Billy.
This innovated nothing...
If its more than $10/foot, its also more expensive that what its trying to replace.
Double wide t-slot track has 6 slots too, and a crossmember running its entire length.
I have no idea what you are talking about Brandon but you seem to have very strong opinions and must have some insight that most don't have. But thank you for watching the video.
Is that some kind of pet you have crawling on your chest the last 30 seconds.Had problems focusing on what you were saying once I saw that 😃🪳
Not sure what you are talking about steen but I do appreciate you watching until the end!
There is something walking
Great to see you again man
Bob!!! Always nice to see you pop up in the comments. Hope you are doing great.
