    Rotary Table clamping hardware

    Never used a rotary table before. I recently purchased one and I am unsure of where to purchase the T-nuts for them-short of having to make them myself.

    These are the T-nuts for the X2. They are slightly larger then what is needed.

    Faster and cheaper to make them yourself. I just made some from 1/4" CRS flat plate.

    1/4" thick Cold Rolled Steel that I got at Lowe's. I drilled & tapped them to use the same studs from the clamping kit I got for my X2. Check your rotary table slots for the thickness to get.

    Little Machine Shop has several sizes, these are the smallest (6mm) for a 4 inch rotary table.
    LittleMachineShop.com - T-Slot Nuts (6 mm) and Clamping Bars
    They have more, look at Chris' tips for part #'s for other sizes.
