t nuts for 520 fence

[Ed in Tampa]

Damn. Maybe I have been doing this all wrong. I have been using 1/4 in. carriage bolts. The bolt head runs down the fence slot and the square shoulder keeps it from turning. I counter-bore for the nut and washer, and cut the bolt to below the surface of the surface of the jig. I run the jig down the fence slots and tighten with a 1/4" drive socket. My reason for doing it this way is that I usually have an assortment of carriage bolts with nuts and washers in the shop already.

Mark on the 520 fence carriage bolts are too small for the t slot. The bolt head has to be larger than 3/4" I think the bottom of the t slot is 1 1/8" wide
with the opening right at 3/4"

So, just use the SS T nuts with the method I described in a privious post to attach your sacrificials and tall fences. That is how I do it and it works like a charm.

You have a winner if you use the SS t nuts but I'm cheap. I can get the flange bolts 2 for $1.50 and the fender washer for $0.10 apiece.

Soldering them together costs virtually nothing so for under a buck I have what you buy for $3.11 plus the cost of the rod.

Like I said I'm cheap, my wife says I throw quarters around like their manhole covers. :o
