I just finished this last month. I wanted the flexibility to position my press or any other tool anywhere I wanted, but was dubious about the aluminum t-track standing up to the torque exerted by the press so I epoxied it into the groove, in addition to the screws. No worries - it's completely solid and doesn't deflect one bit.
This t-track is the "HD" version for 3/8” bolts, from Peachtree.
Do those types of track need to have the ends open to insert the T-nut? The way my bench is set up, I have a wall on one end, and the other end has a 4ft length of 1/4 steel plate as the top. So running length wise might be a challenge. I could cut a spot out of the track foe the nuts be be inserted through i suppose.
Do you think running the track perpendicular to how yours is would work? I could insert the nuts from the front edge of the bench.
Any pics of what the nuts look like or a close up of the track?
I really like the t-track setup, but also need the steel top plate.
The bench also serves as my gunsmithing bench and general catchall (like every flat space in a shop lol)
