    Bolts for TSlot table

    I'm getting ready to replace the MDF table with XZero's TSlot table. I'm wondering what bolts people are using that fit in the T slot? All the T Slot bolts I've been finding are too big. Maybe someone can post a link to bolts that would work?

    Thanks.

    Re: Bolts for TSlot table

    I am a newb! Is there a simple step by step on how to assemble the table top? Like by X by X dimension railing and use X 1/4-20 T-bolts (correct length??) and slots every 10" etc... I get it is basic T-Bolt hardware, but dimensions of both the bolts and the L bracket would be nice.

    I am guessing once I purchase the appropriate parts it's all self explanatory. It's just getting the right parts to install that I need some "point and shoot" guidance with instead of buying a variety of items until I get it right so I don't have to reinvent the wheel with the Raptor specifically.

    I use nylon 1/4 20 and recess them into the spoil board. They hold well but I use more just in case. They have the added advantage of not breaking my bits if I screw up - which is often.

    Re: Bolts for TSlot table

    Does anyone have a good source for the nuts and screws (specs or part #'s) to mount George's aluminum T-slot table to the Raptor frame? My kit came missing these bits and pieces and I figured this would be a good thread for such a question.

    I assume they're pretty straight forward to attach, but any comments on whether I need to remove the front aluminum plate to slide on the t-nuts in or can I just drop them in the slots would be appreciated.
