T Slot Size Standard
Standard metric T-slots and T-nuts
Router bit item #50-002 is perfect for standard ¼'-20 hex bolts. All bits have double flutes and ½' shank. NOTE: We recommend using a straight router bit for routing a groove to remove some of the waste before using the T-slot router bit. The diameter of the straight bit should be slightly less than the small diameter of the T-slot router bit. Choose from our selection of T-slots, including T-slotted framing rails, T-slotted framing structural brackets, and more. Thread Size; 6-32: 10-32: No.
- The T-slots are designed to a specific depth and width depending on the material. The T-slot is used mostly for mounting and fastening a wide variety of accessories and panels to the aluminum extrusion. Often, panels will be inserted into the T-slot to quickly create a wall or enclosure.
- T-Slotted Aluminum Extrusion. Our T-Slotted Aluminum Extrusion Lines utilize corrosion resistant 6063-T6 Aluminum Alloy with a clear anodize finish. Not only do our T-Slotted Aluminum Profiles come in a variety of standard lengths and sizes, we also offer cut to length services to better meet your projects specific needs.
- You may want to verify the slot size. Unless someone recut them they should be a common size (1/2', 9/16' or 5/8'). Take flat file and run it down both sides of the slots to remove any burrs or mushrooming.
