Hello, and welcome to 80/20Õs product highlight series. Today weÕre going to take a look
at a vast selection of T-nuts that 80/20 offers. 80/20Õs T-nuts come in a wide variety of
shapes, sizes, and finishes to suit your projectÕs needs. TheyÕre available in fractional, metric,
and compatible across a wide range of profile series. Now the first style of T-nut weÕre
going to talk about is the standard economy slide-in T-nut. This is one of the more popular
options that 80/20 offers and comes standard in most recommended bolt assemblies. Now as
the name suggests, it simply slides in from the side of the profile. Now however, you
want to make sure that the pilot projection is facing downwards, or towards the middle
of the profile. Now, the great thing about this T-nut is that you can substitute out
a single T-nut sometimes for a double and a triple T-nut to save you time on your build.
Now, letÕs say that, that doesnÕt work and you are farther along in your project, or
itÕs completely finished and you want to add something on later, and you canÕt access
the end of your profile. ThatÕs where our next two options come into play. The first
one, is the drop in T-nut; simply drop it in anywhere in the open T-slot, and lock it
into place, like so. Now one other option we have is a roll in T-nut. It serves the
same purpose, but just like it sounds, it rolls into the open T-slot. Now when we are
using this, we have a few different options. We have T-nuts with a set screw, a flex handle,
a ball spring, or a spring leaf. Now although all these look different, they all serve the
same purpose, and that is to hold themselves into place, despite the orientation of the
bar. Now one last T-nut weÕre going to talk about is the self-aligning T-nut. This one
helps fills any open space in the T-slot, and helps you line up your bolts a lot easier
during install. Now as you can see, T-nuts come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes
here at 80/20, but they all ensure a strong, secure connection to your project. Now hopefully
you found this segment on 80/20Õs T-nuts helpful. For more information visit 8020.net
