t nut for my compound

[irishwoodsman]

irishwoodsman,

The mill is trammed so I can get started on your T-nut.

I don't have a 12.5mm drill bit so I think I'll just drill a 3/8" hole and let you take it from there. I have no current use for a 14mm tap so don't want to purchase one.

Ed

that will be great, ty much, i know theirs alot of more tools i need but have to get a little at a time lol that way i can measure what i need and be able to explain and anwser questions lol

OK, I'll drill it to 3/8" and let you take it from there.

Ed

sounds like a winner ty so much:biggrin:

You need to start with a 0-1" or 0-25mm micrometer and get the outside diameter of the post measured properly. First order of business is to know the correct diameter, then the thread.

Thats #1 rule just wrote this down lol understand ty:biggrin:
