An improved fluid track for transporting a workpiece is disclosed. The fluid track includes a base having apertures formed therein and rails to guide the workpiece to a desired location. The track is designed such that fluid that flows through the apertures suspends the workpiece above the base of the track. The workpiece is urged in a desired or predetermined direction by applying a fluid (<i>e.g.</i>, through a nozzle) to a surface of the workpiece.
