Best place to buy Mitre T Track and Laminate for Work Top?

[Chems]

As per Title, Im after some T track or probably I track for a new router table, and I also wish to laminate the surface to give a better slide across the surface. I dont want to pay the earth for either.

Tilgear for T-track. Nowhere sells it cheap, but their's is the most reasonable.

Try a kitchen manufacturer for laminate. There is one near me and I raid his scrap pile once or twice a year, and I don't charge him for disposing of his industrial waste!

Woodworkers workshop also for good quality 1/4" t-track

Wizer, couldnt find any prices on that site. Didnt seem user friendly!


Fire Back seems to be the most commonly laminate used after a long forum search. From B&Q or Homebase.

I got the sheets for my tops here, loads cheaper than the fireback stuff if you need more than 1 of them.

chems: You have to call for a price list. worth it if you'll save money IMO

Fireback stuff has been popular only recently - mainly because people have trouble getting hold of laminate sheets. But it's really not so difficult - I got a roll years ago (10'x4') from Jewsons delivered - still have plenty left and didn't cost the earth.
T-track - yep I'd go for Woodworker's Workshop - the Incra stuff they sell is good stuff. Rutlands do it too.

I got my laminate from a local timber merchant, Lawsons Timber in Edinburgh. Not much use to you, I know, but the point I trying to make is that places that supply to the joinery trade can probably get it for you even if they don't keep a stock. I paid about £33 for a 10' x 4' sheet a couple of years ago. Enough for a couple of router table tops at least plus a good few offcuts for facing jigs etc.

Excellent, with the current fuel prices Im just as happy to buy the laminate off the web!

Starting my new bench router workstation type thingy when Ive finished my current project.
