Welcome to the TRACKTUBES™ Information Page.  The purpose of this page is to answer the most commonly asked questions, as well as provide other useful information prior to ordering your TRACKTUBES™.

TRACKTUBES™ were originally designed to be used as sawhorse supports, but have many other uses, such as router leveling sleds, miter saw and drill press fences, and built into workbenches for material support extensions.  The versatility is endless and only limited by your imagination and creativity.

DESIGN

TRACKTUBES™ are a high quality, clear anodized aluminum extrusion, manufactured here in the USA.  They are sized (1.5" x 2.75") to fit in the notches of commercially available sawhorses that are designed to fit dimensional 2x4's for work support. The new design of the aluminum profile, we call 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.

PURCHASING/PRICING

All TRACKTUBES™ are sold, priced, and shipped in pairs (two).  For 2024, the price for a pair of the 72" length is $179 and 90" length is $199.  We also added 45" lengths to be used with our new TRACKTOP™, which are $99/pair.  The cut length may vary slightly +/- 1/8".  All purchases can be completed through the ecommerce function of our website, TRACKTUBES.com.

SHIPPING

All orders are normally shipped within 48 hours by either UPS or USPS from our shop in Bristol, Tennessee.  All orders will receive email notification of the shipment with the tracking number.  If you add your cell phone number in checkout, you will also receive shipping updates via text messages.  Most shipments should arrive within 3-7 days of your order, dependent on the day of the week ordered and shipping address.  Unfortunately, we currently only ship to addresses in the United States (lower 48 only).  Due to the package length, the cost of shipping the TRACKTUBES™ extrusion internationally is too expensive.

 UNPACKING

Please use care when handling your new tubes.  All extrusions are pre-cut at the factory and there may still be aluminum burrs and/or sharp corners which need to be removed/dulled.  This can easily be done with sandpaper or a file.  Please inspect your tubes for damage and notify us immediately if there is a problem. Although we take the utmost care in handling and packaging the tubes, due to the manufacturing process (handling, cutting, bundling and transportation) of bulk aluminum extrusions, it is impossible to prevent minor scrapes and scratches.   Minor surface scratches are considered normal condition for these types of extrusions.  Additionally, the tube ends may have visible "rack marks," made by the clips that hold the extrusions during the anodizing process.  These marks are a discoloration in the anodized finish, and affect 1" or less of each end. The discoloration is only cosmetic and does not alter the functionality of the tubes in any way.
