The best fitting nuts are individually made, to fit....... :wave:
The recently bought nuts need 1mm off the wider section, to make `em fit the r/ table. :thumbup:
The 4 nuts which came with the mill, for the mill table, are much too loose in my opinion.....
AND, I`ve still not finished those oversize nuts I found in my toolboxes....... ::)
I really do not want that sinking feeling, as a piece of machine table breaks away! :bang:

Making your own as you did is the way to go. I needed two t-nuts for a rotary table, and decided to mill some material off of some that were in my clamping set. These were hardened and ruined an endmill.

This may seem obvious but here's a little tip. If you have material and you don't know if it's hard or not, use a file. If it slides over the metal with out cutting it is usally hard. If the files cuts then it can be considered soft. Then at least you'll know if you need to use a carbide end mill or if that HSS will do.

This morning, I milled off .5mm from each side of the 6mm nuts.
I used a tired 10mm carbide endmill & deburred with a file...... No problem! :thumbup:
