2025 WOOD Innovation Awards

Sometimes innovation is revolutionary; this year, it was evolutionary. We rounded up an eclectic collection of products that elevate the craft of woodworking by improving on tools and expanding on systems.

Create connections in T-Track systems

Rockler’s new T-track drop-ins make it easy to connect, turn, and terminate tracks, and provide convenient places to insert and remove track bolts without having to slide them through entire lengths of track. Made from aluminum, the drop-ins are available in five styles: T-intersections, end caps, 90° corners, 4-way intersections, and in-line inserts. All fit into a 3/8×3/4″ slot or can be surface mounted, and attach with a single included screw. While designed to work with Rockler’s T-tracks, the fittings are compatible with almost any aluminum track that shares a similar profile. Buy each type separately in packs of four, or pick up a starter kit that includes two of each.
