ONE PROFILE, ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES
With any 1/2" x 14º dovetail router bit, you create your own Dovetail Tracks anywhere you wish, eliminating the need to buy expensive T-track. Microjig’s Dovetail Hardware is part of our MatchFit system designed to provide all the function of T-track at a fraction of the cost. Wherever you can mill a groove, you can put Dovetail Hardware.
The idea of using the Dovetail profile as a track came about while founder and inventor Henry Wang was trying to attach a tall fence to his table saw. Standard c-clamps got in the way, and the only solution, it seemed, was to install T-track to secure the fence. Convinced there was a better way, Henry repurposed the classic dovetail profile as a quick, reliable means of securing jigs and fixtures without the cost of cumbersome aluminum tracks.
The most versatile profile ever.
Create a variety of sleds, jigs and fixtures with hold downs and stops that can move freely and lock down where needed anywhere you can mill the dovetail groove.
Included in the box:
- (6) #10-32 Dovetail Track Nuts
- (6) #10-32 x 3/4" Panhead Screws
- (6) #10 Steel Washers

Got questions?
Do I need the MATCHFIT Dovetail Router Bit in order to use Dovetail Clamps and Dovetail Hardware?
Only if you value your time. Standard dovetail router bits cut to a sharp point at the top of the groove, which requires a decent amount of sanding after the track is routed. Our router bit incorporates a 1/16” roundover to automatically smooth out the top of the track in a single pass. Less time sanding means more time building.
Why dovetail tracks as opposed to T-slot?
When tightening anything inside of a t-slot, the pressure is applied perpendicular to the material surface, which may weaken the integrity of the track. If a t-slot is cut into plywood, all of the force is concentrated on the small flange at the bottom, causing the plywood to delaminate. With a dovetail profile, the clamping force is distributed evenly along the entire wall of the track for an overall strong hold.
Will MATCHFIT Dovetail Clamps and Dovetail Hardware fit into my Festool track?
The clamps will not, the hardware will, but that’s kind of missing the point. The MATCHFIT system was designed to be compatible with a standard router bit profile, so that users wouldn’t actually need metal tracks. However, some users have been known to file or grind about .005” off of the wide part of the clamp’s elbow and use them in their Festool track. Our advice is to use Festool clamps with Festool tracks, and use Dovetail Clamps for everything else.
Why is the Dovetail Hardware getting stuck?
When you tighten the Dovetail Hardware into a plywood or MDF groove, the 14 degree dovetail profile wedges the plastic head of the hardware in place in the groove.
This "locks" the hardware in place so it cannot move side to side within the dovetail groove. So you can wedge a Track Screw in place, loosen the knob, and turn a cam clamp to secure stock in ways that T-Track hardware cannot.
When you are done, just press the Track Screw or Track Nut back down into the groove to 'snap' it loose and slide it to your next task.
Can I use MDF for Matchfit tables and jigs?
Good quality plywood or MDF work just fine for the MatchFit Dovetail System. Because the clamp pressure is normally directly over the clamp head in the groove, the groove is supported and the board does not tear out. There is a video showing the process here: https://youtu.be/oHtOey0-97U
What are the recommended wood type for MatchFit Dovetail Tracks?
3/4" or thicker: Void-free quality plywood (11-ply or more, Baltic birch is best), standard MDF or seasoned hardwood.

It all started in a garage workshop...
Henry was working on an intricate project and was challenged with cutting thin strips on a table saw. His frustration with traditional methods sparked one of the most innovative woodworking tools to come out in decades.
After countless hours and prototypes, the Grr-ripper was born. Henry has continued to innovate, and Microjig now offers multiple unique product lines all over the world.
