I bought some 1/4" t-nuts from msmaster carr....

Too bad they were for 5/16 slot :withstupi

So I milled them down.

In action.

It is unbelievable what this machine can do for the price.

Nice Taig! Hey what are you using for your Z axis cover? I have almost the same set-up as you, in fact it looks just like your taig/enclosure lol.

I took a browse through your thread, looks good.

Here is a full picture of my enclosure.

Oh you saw that? I no longer have the stock vise (It sucked)


Great enclosure. Is it steel? Everything is sealed for no leaks? Full coolant?

impact, good looking setup-:)

Are you using the emery cloth method to hold those parts in there all at once?

The cabinet is actually all wood construction with a fiberglass basin.

The z axis cover is a heavy duty bicycle tube.

The variation in surface finish and size of the nuts was able to just be taken up by a small piece of paper.

I did a pull test before cutting.
