can this aluminum track be easiy drilled through the front to the back (straight through) with a hand drill?

I have not drilled through it, and by "hand drill" I assume you refer to a hand held power drill, I can tell you the material is pliable enough to hand form into a gentle curve. That pliability should allow it to be easily drilled using a metal drilling bit.

If it is being held by something solid (vice?) or installed with mounting brackets then I would think it would be easily done. It is made of a soft aluminum and very bendable. I had much luck and success with this product however I didn't not drill it. Good luck.

Yes you can but it's difficult. You would not benefit from the splinter free cut of the track. In fact, many of the features of the saw are a result of track integration. Without the track, it's sort of an unwieldy circular saw. I think I rather go with the circular saw vs. a track saw with no track.

Not for the front, but for the rear wheels Yes. You'll need plenty of room to drill holes.

It should be OK. You do have a little wiggle room with how far you can place the track from the front of the table. It comes with a nice template that you can work with.

Yes you can do it that way. However, if the jig does move when drilling the 1st hole it can throw the alignment for the rest of the holes a bit. I've done it that way before and everything worked out!

I actually fastened the entire motor to an aluminum bar. When you open the motor up it has enough room to move to the side allowing you to drill into the back or sides as I did

You can use this saw without the track, however keep in mind that this saw is only a 6 1/2" saw and doesn't have the depth of cut of a full 7 1/4" saw. The real beauty of this saw is the very clean and straight cuts you get from using as a track saw. I recommend you use the track whenever possible.

While I am not positively sure, I do know that this track has more width than other electric tracks. If you call the manufacturer they could inform you whether it will or not.

Yes but you would have to have the bar move along a track and the unit attached to the bar. I actually built a frame that the unit attached to and then it could be rigged to move the frame

I really don't think so. It's a straight track across the top and bottom that connect together by sliding them into each other. Good luck finding what works for you.

I have used this track dolly on many types of track. Any tube, pipe, cylindrical object from 1" to 1.5" (maybe larger) will work. Angle iron or aluminium angle at about 1.25" or larger should work. I have used 3/4" hydraulic hose (about 1.125" outer diameter) for a track with a curve. Heck I have used broom sticks. I am tinkering with a system that uses 40" sections of heavy-walled PVC pipe that will snap together to build a straight track as long as you have sections. Hope the helps, Claude

You can take a couple screws out of the track pretty easy. This is a wonderfully sturdy product. Highly recommend it.

Yes. The front, back and both side rails can be slid and tightened down in any location required. There are slotted holes as well. The only way it would not work for you is if your mounting holes on the sides or front and back are not in a straight line with the corosponding hole on that same side. Even then I think you could improvise something that would work.

I'm sure it could. I would probably glue the shims on rather than nail or screw just to make sue the track stays clear.

The tracks are the same size, but not really designed to attach. you could probably improvise something, though.

I drilled two holes at end off both tracks to joint them and I install a strip of steel metal about 1/4 x 6 inches on the back if the rail ( $2.00) hardware store . It works perfect I can move both doors side to side with no problem
