If you assemble face frames with pocket screws you have to have a way to keep the edges of the rail and stile square and flush. I have been using a Kreg vise grip for that purpose and it is OK.
But I recently got the Milescraft clamp and it is very handy. They make clamps with a 3" and a 6" reach. If you want to use the squaring device, you need the 3" reach. This will work well with an MFT table, or you can drill a hole. It will also work with T-tracks but it creates quite a bit of force and I worry it will bend the track. They also sell mounting plates for use on undrilled tables and it is easier to use than the through mount.
If you opt for the mounting plates they get counterbored and remain flush to the countertop. They come with a counterbore bit.
