A fixturing system for woodworking includes a woodworking table having a planar top surface and a T-slot. The T-slot has a central section that is open at the top surface, and further has a pair of undercut sections projecting laterally from opposite sides of the central section. A pair of inner surfaces face downward over the pair of undercut sections of the T-slot. The system further includes a T-nut. An upper portion of the T-nut is receivable in the central section of the T-slot, and has a screw-threaded bore. The bore has a nominal cross-sectional area for receiving a screw-threaded shank on a fastener. A lower portion of the T-nut has a pair of clamping surfaces projecting laterally from opposite sides of the upper portion. The clamping surfaces on the T-nut have a combined surface area of at least about 4 times the nominal cross-sectional area of the bore.
