Makita UJK track dogs are supplied in pairs, made of stainless steel, with a T-bolt that fits into the T-slot on the underside of the Makita guide rail. Unlike track clips that clamp to the side of the rail, these dogs sit under the rail, eliminating the risk of accidental cutting over the 20mm holes of the multifunction table. Laser-etched scale from 0 to 75 mm for height adjustment according to material thickness. Supplied with 2 segmented aluminum support collars. Compatible with Festool MFT/3 table and all grid tables with 20mm holes. Made in Great Britain. Distributed in Italy by Krollit, official UJK distributor since 2007.

Who uses Makita UJK track dogs and for what
Makita UJK track dogs are used by joiners and carpenters who work with a Makita track saw on a multifunction table and require a more stable track attachment than traditional track clips. In Italy, they are adopted in particular by those who perform repeated cross-cuts on panels of the same height and want to avoid realigning the track with each operation, those who use a router with a Makita guide rail on an MFT table where high vibrations make clips insufficient, and professionals who work on construction sites with portable cutting stations where the track must not move during cutting. The 0 to 75 mm graduated scale allows you to set the height of the support collar according to the exact thickness of the material to be cut, making repeated operations on materials of the same thickness significantly faster.

For whom are the Makita UJK track dogs
| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Joiner performing repeated cuts on materials of the same thickness with a Makita track saw |
Suitable |
The 0 to 75 mm graduated scale allows you to set the support collar once and for all for a given thickness, eliminating track realignment between cuts |
| Those using a router with a Makita guide rail on a multifunction table |
Suitable |
Attachment via T-bolt under the track is more stable than side clips in the presence of high vibrations; the track cannot move sideways during routing |
| Those working narrow pieces where the track tends to wobble |
Suitable |
The 2 included segmented aluminum support collars are positioned on the dog and support the track laterally, preventing wobbling on narrow materials |
| Those owning Festool, Triton or Milwaukee guide rails |
Not suitable |
This version is compatible with the T-slot of Makita rails; for Festool, Triton and Milwaukee rails, the dedicated UJK version with a different size T-bolt is available |
Not suitable for: Festool, Triton and Milwaukee guide rails, for which the dedicated UJK version with compatible T-bolt is available; and for tables with 20 mm holes not aligned to a 96 mm pitch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Makita and Festool UJK dogs?
The difference is exclusively in the T-bolt: the Makita version has a T-bolt sized for the T-slot of Makita tracks, the Festool version for the T-slot of Festool, Triton and Milwaukee tracks. The two versions are not interchangeable.
The graduated scale, support collars, material and operation are identical in both versions. Those who own both brands of tracks purchase the two versions separately.
How is the 0 to 75 mm graduated scale used in practice?
The laser-etched scale on the side of the dog is used to measure the thickness of the material to be cut and to position the support collar at the correct height. Once the collar is set to the material's measurement, the track rests on the collars, ensuring stability even on narrow pieces.
This system allows repeated operations on materials of the same thickness without having to realign the track: the support collar keeps the track at the correct height for each positioning.
Are these dogs compatible with the Festool MFT/3 table?
Yes. The Makita UJK track dogs fit into the 20 mm holes of the Festool MFT/3 table and all grid tables with a 96 mm pitch. Compatibility with the table refers to the 20 mm holes; compatibility with the track, on the other hand, refers to the T-slot, which in this case is Makita's.
What are the included segmented aluminum collars for?
The 2 segmented aluminum collars are placed on the dog and support the track laterally when the material to be cut is narrow. On narrow materials, the track tends to wobble because it is not sufficiently supported; the collars eliminate this wobble by resting on the surface of the workpiece.
The collars are height-adjustable using the 0 to 75 mm graduated scale etched on the side of the dog, ensuring that the support is at the correct height for the specific material being worked.
What is the difference between these dogs and UJK track clips?
Track clips attach to the side of the track and surround the 20 mm dogs; fastening dogs insert under the track via a T-bolt in the T-slot, positioning themselves completely under the track itself.
The main advantage of fastening dogs is that the track is never positioned over the 20 mm holes of the table, eliminating the risk of accidental cutting on the holes. They are recommended for routing with a router, for repeated cuts of the same thickness and for narrow materials prone to track wobble.
