It would be great to see standardisation on aluminium extrusions but I think the asians use offcuts from much larger projects to fabricate woodworking components like fences and is why we have difficulty in finding a supplier.
 
This is the one I used
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2pcs-Alu...-/143598078082?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292It’s has the same slot as most mitre block tracks on table saws and router tables.
I also used these https://www.amazon.co.uk/10pcs-T-Track-Sliding-Woodworking-Fastener/dp/B08SM4BMXY
For the fence and eventually make some hold downs.

Used 2 layers 18mm ply so that you can use longer screws to hold t track down. Also cut a circle in the top layer before I laminated them together so I use a sacrificial insert. It can be rotated and flipped so will last a while before replacing.
 
19mm is the standard size for jig making. As said above Woodworkers workshop are not much more than the cheap ones on eBay. All T tracks look the same but the cheap ones are made of an aluminium alloy , what you want is the solid aluminium as sold on Peter Sefton's site.
But this is what Rut;ands call 19mm t track: It's very confusing!
