Hack, hack, hack. Anyone care about best practices here?I usually stake threads with a center punch and a BFH. Don't need the "good size fine adjustment tool", save that for when you need to beat it till it fits.......
I cut the bottom thread in 4 places with a sharp rap of a cold chisel on an angle, maybe 15/20°. This deforms the last thread.How do you stake the T-nut? I know the reason its done, just not sure how its accomplished.
Ive done it this way on a couple of T-nuts but it seemed to give out and allow the stud to go all the way through after a while. I do use my clamp kit quite a bit and after resetting the work a few times the studs eventually thread thoughI cut the bottom thread in 4 places with a sharp rap of a cold chisel on an angle, maybe 15/20°. This deforms the last thread.
Are you talking about a lathe tool post?I need some new T nuts and had the thought of keeping the T section as a long bar with the two studs that fit the distance between the two holes in my tool post.
The idea being that it can slide in the channel but the studs are the correct spread to just sit the tool post into place.
Can anyone see a reason this is not done?
Actually the solid plinth the qctp sits on.Are you talking about a lathe tool post?
