I have many fences on router tables and saws that are simply made with a T-slot bit sized for 5/16' T-bolts. I will counter, and also agree with Johnny, just for fun and say I am in the T-Slot router bit camp. The Micro Jig system does work well in my opinion and is a good addition to the shop. But I can see how t-slots may be a better choice than buying the Micro Jig specific hardware for it in some cases. I don't use routered t-slots or considered making anything with it. Some things t-track is much better and some things the Micro Jig dovetail is better for. I don't see it as a complete replacement for t-track. I have thought I may add this to an area of my workbench and it would be useful at times. I do think the vertical faces added to work tables with the dovetail slots that could be a useful feature if clamping on the side of the work bench is something you do often. I've seen worktable top versions which I'm not impressed enough with the idea to try it. I have used it for some other clamping jigs and such. My crosscut sled is made with it and I use the clamps on it which works really well. I think it is a nice solution and does work well in certain areas. I like the Micro Jig dovetail clamps and such.
