Excellent idea John, I was thinking about stops too. Even better if I can 'multi use' the stuff I've already made. I don't think I'll get away with 8mm dowels, I may not have enough space between the two screws but if not 6mm will work a treat. The main reason I made so many is because I got carried away machining my brass bar! Plus set up time is so expensive, doesn't add a lot to make more... |

And their use isn't limited to the T-nuts - if you have a repeat task and you have a jig/fixture or a sacrificial plate, just pop the mounting holes into that plate - though I don't use them that often, I use Mitee Bite clamps almost as much that way as with the T-slot nuts.
