Versatile, low-profile clamping.
Introducing the MatchFit U-Pad Clamps (2-Pack)—an innovative dovetail clamping solution for the MatchFit Dovetail Track System, designed to eliminate tight spaces while delivering secure, versatile clamping. Ideal for a wide range of work-holding setups, these low-profile clamps offer exceptional flexibility, working within custom dovetail tracks you create using a standard 14-degree by 1/2" dovetail router bit. Whether you're working with jigs, fixtures, or on a MatchFit clamping table, these clamps provide the secure hold-down support you need.
Hold on the top and side of your workpiece.
The MatchFit U-Pad Clamps clamp parts along the top and side edges simultaneously, so they do not rely on holding parts with friction only. The U-Pad Clamps are engineered to hold from the top and side with a simple twist of the knob, capable of holding materials from as thin as paper to as thick as 1-1/8" (28.5mm). An included step riser block makes it easy to clamp thicker materials for glue-ups, routing, sanding, or assembly.
Create your own clamp tracks.
With MatchFit, you're not confined to pre-set clamp positions. Carve out your custom dovetail tracks on any wooden surface, enhancing your hold-down capabilities where you need them most. The Dovetail Track System gives you all the functionality of T-track, in less time and at a fraction of the cost.
Seamless dovetail integration: All MatchFit clamps slide into any 1/2" x 14º dovetail groove, transforming your setup into a unified clamping haven for unmatched efficiency.

Got questions?
Can’t I just do the same thing with dog holes?
Not really. Dog holes only allow clamps to go through the material with the head sticking out of the bottom. Dog holes confine clamps to fixed locations, which aren’t always where you need them. Dovetail Clamps can be positioned anywhere in a dovetail track, inside the material and out of the way.
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 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.
