After years of watching woodworking videos, I finally put MicroJig’s MatchFit Dovetail Clamping System head-to-head with traditional T-tracks.

I test clamping force (with a load cell), cost, durability, and ease of installation across plywood, MDF, hardwood, and melamine — no hype, just data. Plus, I share some cheap hacks to boost performance.

Why? Because my workbench has a clamping problem. Let’s fix it with a jig that actually works.
