| How do I make all my Tee nuts the same? |

| Jasonb:
If you stick the tapping drill back through the hole you can use that to keep the nuts all at a set height above the vice jaws and just set them square with a tri-square. Jason |

The threaded portion may end up slightly off-centre, but is that particularly important on a T-nut? --- End quote --- Run them onto a threaded bar, or bolt. Do they need to be the same length :scratch: |

Thanks for all your input.. |

If you're a purist then you should know that T-nuts should not be tapped all the way through. 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. |

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 |
