5/3/2018 Shapeoko 3 T-track installation - Carbide 3D NOTE: The T-tracks are not symmetric front to back. See the image above to identify what is the front and what is the back. Take one of the provided T-tracks, and align it with the front edge. Keep this T-track pressed against the side ﬁller strip. There should be no gap. Continue with this same method by next laying down a middle ﬁller strip, then another T-track, then another middle ﬁller strip, then another T-track, then the last side ﬁller.

5/3/2018 Shapeoko 3 T-track installation - Carbide 3D You have two options here. Option - For the perfectionist:We included a / ” drill bit with this kit. If you were so inclinded, you could transfer all of the holes, as they are laid out. Then remove all of the pieces, and pre-drill each one. PROTIP: Pre-drilling the holes will help limit the amount of ‘bubbling’ the MDF will do when the screw is driven in.

/3/2018 Shapeoko 3 T-track installation - Carbide 3D Each of the middle ﬁller pieces are attached using x - / ” screws. Start from one end and work your way to the other, keeping close attention to not letting the piece ride up the screws. Some downward pressure will help with this. Work your way all the way across the table, trying not to strip any of the screws. Setting your cordless drill to a lower torque setting can help prevent this.
