Guide Rail Brackets, Track Stars, and Outriggers are designed to be largely universal and can mount on various non-Dash-Board® tables. The broad categories are
Yes. Use the mounting holes designated for “T-slot tables” on the included information card.
No
We have no hardware to accomplish that but you might work out something on your own.
For multiple bench orders we supply proprietary connecting hardware.
We offer our bench dogs in three sizes, and they’re made to fit 20mm holes only. The three sizes refer to the height of the part that sits above the table surface, which is 1” (25mm) in diameter. The choice is purely about your preference for how you might normally use bench dogs during many applications on the benchtop. They all work with our USBs, but the medium and taller heights are best for use during crosscut and Long Rip setup.

Dash-Board tops are sanded to 120 grit and ready to finish. We recommend two thin sealer coats applied by sprayer or roller to protect them from moisture, stains, and spills. This is our typical recommendation for a very durable, friendly, and easy-to-apply finish that is rare in its ability to be rolled to a smooth finish. Use a fabric type roller cover meant for smooth surfaces and move slowly and deliberately.
DO NOT USE A FOAM COVER.
Yes. The neutral height is 35.5” (900mm) and it can be raised at each foot by ⅞” (22mm) to accommodate uneven surfaces. The feet also pivot on their mounts to conform to angled surfaces.
This type is our recommendation. It’s the best value and you’re only paying more for a brand name and color with anything else. We used a ton of it in the early days here. Other tracks are generally ok if the slot opening is ~⅜” (8-9mm) and interior width is at least 12mm.
The best choices are 1530-1545 series and 4080 series or similar.
100" (2540mm) and 54.25” (1378mm), respectively.
24.5” (622mm)
To achieve the intended range of height adjustment for our accessories, center it at either 29 or 39mm below the work surface. This assumes a 3/4" (18mm) thick bench top. Those measurements relate to two sets of mounting holes on the Guide Rail Bracket and Track Star base plates.
You should attach the track in one of two ways:
This provides vertical backing/support for the base plates to keep them from tilting/cantilevering off a single mounting point. You can also use a strip of wood that’s the same thickness.
Guide Rail Brackets are compatible with:
The Track Star/SpiRail™ Dog combination is compatible with both types PLUS Kreg. Bosch/Mafell users should indicate their brands when ordering SpiRail™ Dogs, since those rails have such shallow slots and require specific hardware.
