For the people that use t nuts

Pages: (1/3) > >>

vader:

I would like to use these for mounting my joysticks and wanted to know if I should countersink the hole with something like a forstner bit or just using a standard countersink and how the tnuts mount ? Do they just tap into place ? and last but not least...are these available at a home depot or lowes ?

you can get them at both home depot and lowes

They have 4 "spikes" that stick down toward the bolt head, and pound into place.
This keeps the T-nuts from turning while you tighten the bolts, and the bolts suck the T-nut even tighter.

I used a forstner bit to route the space for the t-nuts.  Don't do what I did though and fill over the t-nuts without screws in them  :(

Thanks guys....just got back from the depot and picked up a 6 pierce forstner set and was thinking to leave a screw in them when filling over, man, the things I think about before I go to sleep, used to be women....now its how can I mount this and that.... :P
