yes, pretty sure they ship worldwide. I order from them all the time. info@gereedschappro.nl should work normally. I've been speaking to them about shipping one to Australia, they only ship to Europe generally by the look of it, they were pretty reluctant to look into the shipping at first but they're looking into it now apparently. I'll let ya know if I have any luck. I do not kno Dutch and cannot read the website... But maybe 2 into Au is easier? Where are you at?

Maybe I can be of assistance as a native speaker. Send me a private msg. Really I just a two or three sentence description of what it does, and why I need it... and that could help other readers. In related news, I was in the garage a while back and came across a jig from Scotland that holds a peice of rail and is used for cross cuts with the MT55 or p1cc... I forgot I ordered it, and it was good to find it just before I needed it. luckily I knew what it was for

Sander says: Wow, what a super cool track this is and a must-have for your Mafell Erika 70 & 85 tablesaw! Mount this track to your Erika and unleash a new world of possibilities, see below! The best fro mGermany comes together with the most universal tracks from the US of A!
(With Tel Sell voice) Mike this is amaazziinnggg... Mike a T-Track in your table saw is T-uckng handy, right? But doesn’t an Erika have one? Tony, we’ll fix that!
This combination track exist out of a T-Track and Mitertrack and it is: THE solution to give your Erika more capabilities. Mount this track on your Erika and you can use all the products our American brands (Woodpeckers, Incra, Jessem, MicroJig) have made for these miter tracks. And on top of that they’re super accurate!
What sort of things can you do witht hem? You can now mount all of the following to your Erika and this provides enormously many nice new possibilities.
In the T-Track you can mount: -Featherboard -miterslider -T-track knobs and bolts -Glue clamps -Hold down clamps
The miter tracks fits: -Miter fence -Featherboards with a miter slider -Right angle fence -Mitering platform, coping box, coping sled -Miter slider -Miter gauge
The possibilities are so diverse that we can’t describe them all. We haven’t received any examples yet of all the different things you can do with them. I hope customers will mail us pictures soon, so that we can show you. We ourselves are also working on a sliding box in combination with the MicroJig clamps, see pictures and video below:
The track is developed by in2Tools, also known for the Centiplate, C-locs and more, and we're the first ones who sell these.
In2Tools says: This producst has been developed in-house for the past 2 years specifically for the Mafell Erika 70 and 85 pull-saw. For a long time we have wanted to mount all those nice things from the USA on our European saws, but in Europe no manufacturer has a standard for this. Sometimes you'll find a groove in the table top, but what is it for? A lot of times the manufacturers themselves don't even know. In de USA just about every tablesaw and router table has a miter and T-track in the table top and they all have the same dimensions. So it's about time we in Europe started to provide this. We asked Mafell if they would allow this: Yes. We also asked if they would change the dovetail profiles on a new version of the saw: No. So we went to work.
What are the different possibilities of the ECT track? This track has multiple functions, you can mount it all around the Erika. Most people will buy 1 to use as a combination track. If you buy an additional one later on, you can also use it to extend the table. And if you want to do something with a miter track, you simply covert your machine. Easy, right!?
Because you can mount the ECT track not only on the side but on the front and back as well we have also made it available in 150cm length. Why? Imagine you buy buy 2 of the 150cm tracks and you mount them to the front and back, you can make an extension wing with and additional 50cm!! of width both left and right!! That significantly increases the table surface and stability of your Erika! Mafell also sells extensions wings, but those only go up to 1m in length...
Do all the original Mafell accessories still fit? The profile of the tracks is identical to the Mafell one. If you mount it to the saw all Mafell accessories also fit the ECT track.
Why 2 different lengths? The rail is available in 100cm and 150cm lengths, both fit the Erika 70 & 85. Most people with limited space available to them own an Erika70, for which the 100cm rail is intended. Do you own an Erika 85 and/or have a lot of space or you just want to create a large table surface? Then you choose the 150cm long track.
Do you want a lenght inbetwen 100 and 150cm? Buy the 150cm and trim it. You can trim it on the Erika, preferably with a blade suited for Aluminium. The stainless steel track that is incorperated in the Aluminium rail, meant to clamp the rail to the saw, has to be cut with a hacksaw or grinder.
How do you mount the Erika combination track on your Erika? Take it out of the packaging, loosen the hex bolts where needed and slide the track on either of the 4 sides of the Erika. Then you tighten the hex screws until the rail is secured to the Erika. It needs to become a single piece. The part of the rail that protrudes from the saw does not need to be tightened. Tip: Make sure the screws are secure so they don't loosen up due to vibration.
In2Tools mission statement: We want to develop locally produced products in cooperation with our clients. The product has been designed, developed and produced in The Netherlands. The Aluminium of this Erika Combination Track is a mix of recycled and new Aluminium. Unfortunately this can't be sourced 100% locally from The Netherlands. We have tried. The extrusion mold for the tracks however is made here in The Netherlands! The anodising and laser engraving are also done here in The Netherlands. Yes, it can't get more Dutch than this.
What Erika model does it fit: It fits both the old Erika 70 & 85 series (pre 2019) as the new series (post 2019)! The Erika 60 has a different dovetail profile, so it doesn't fit (yet).
Technical data: - Length 150 cm - Color: Steel blue - Print: Laser engraved - Track material: Aluminium - Clamping strip material: stainless steel - Screw: Cylindrical head A2 stainless steel M5 x 22mm (do not replace with 25mm it will dent the top of your T-track)

Stupid stupid brexit. Can't get any companies in the EU to deliver to the UK right now. I hate brexit so much. This is what happens when rich people use the media to lie to stupid people and tell them it's democracy. I feel very sorry for the collateral damage.

The miter tracks fits:-Miter fence -Featherboards with a miter slider -Right angle fence -Mitering platform, coping box, coping sled -Miter slider -Miter gauge bought myself a miter gauge on Banggood after positive review by Hooked on Wood and happy until now. Need to finetune the 1m long fence : if the fence extends beyond the blade the lever is ok and doesn't tilt the miter gauge. Intend to saw a slot in the fence so I can use the gauge on the fence too. unable to upload pictures

I had contacted Timberwolf tools in the US to see if they knew anything about this or possibly had any intentions of re selling them. They said no and no. They had not seen or heard of them and did not want to increase their product line to include them.
I wish someone could figure out how to do a group buy and make it worthwhile/ cost effective to get some in the US. I think even though the usefulness may have limits the Erica would be a better machine if it included a miter slot of some kind.

How are people getting on with this In2tools mitre track?
It looks like there's a bit of a long cantilever from where it attaches to the table to the mitre slot and I wonder if anyone is getting much deflection? Does it tilt a bit below the level of the table?
Love to hear any reviews
Kevin

cut a hole in the extension rails Nice - you've got the In2tools rail between the saw and the extension leaf to the left?
You're not worried it weakens the rails?.. mine aren't cut but were sagging slightly just with the weight of the Incra and extension leaf - ended up having to put in some support underneath.

yes, the track is on the left and in between the Mafell and the extension. Almost 99% of the time I keep my piece on the left of the blade
I checked before with the track producer and Mafell rep and they were not concerned. I also think that there is enough meat left and the integrity is not impacted. I also believe that the pro outweighs the cons, if it would sag. Then I can add a support.
