I really like 8020 extrusions for ease of use, cutting (carbide blade on a tablesaw works great), versatility, etc. Also, they are very straight and with close tolerances. But the T-Nuts fit loosely in the slots. With such good tolerances inside and out, wouldn't it be possible to create/sell close-tolerance T-Nuts that fit more tightly and accurately in the slots?

If they exist, I've never seen them advertised.

Just wondering.

I don't really see a need for precide t-nuts. You can simply wiggle the aluminum around until you get it where you want it. Then simply tighten the screws and lock it in place.

We have a great product with many thread sizes to solve your problem. Check us out at Your #1 shop for Aluminum T-Slotted Extrusion hardware. Depending on your extrusion size (10 series or 15 series), you would need a DB-015. They are Drop-in T-nuts with a small spring-ball underneath. The top of the T-Nut has a small, raised edge. When the T-Nut is inserted into the T-Slot, the spring ball holds it in position. The raised edge ensures that the nut is properly positioned, and the threaded hole is perfected centered in the t-slot.

Hope this helps.

TNutz,

Thanks, yes this does help. But . . . ummmm . . I went to your website to order and it insists that the price is zero and the shipping is $15. And I wasn't trying to order the free sample.
