Bridgeport t-slot nut size

[Mike8623]

what size 1/2-13 t-slot nut does the series 1 mill take for its hold down bolts? I'm confused.

The nuts are 5/8” across where the studs are threaded in. Often times the underside of the overhanging edge has burrs from previous abuse. If that happens it’s hard to get the nuts to slide down the slot in the table. You might need to modify a file to remove the burrs from the underside

Or run a woodruff key cutter down the underside of the slots.
