--- Quote from: John Rudd on March 08, 2010, 03:21:31 PM ---Thanx Marv..... :wave:. Its unlikely the nuts will break out from the table...its made from steel... I think the tensile strength of the 5mm studs isnt high enough...Probably shear or strip if I over tighten --- End quote --- Do we deduce that you have already threaded them right through (like I did)? If so, it can do no harm to spoil the last thread on the underside with three or four centrepunch marks close to the edge of the hole, in case you ever use them in a cast iron slot. Andy Andy |

A small untapped bit prevents the stud from going all the way through and pulling the nut up if the stud should turn while tightening down. If the nut pulls up there's a possibility that you can break out the T-slots on the table. --- End quote --- I thought my tee nuts were not made correctly. I had a tough time tapping that last thread in them. :doh: :bang: |
