Re: Thread size for clamp kit

Are the standard bolts you are trying to use 16 pitches per inch? Sounds like you might have a mismatch there.

I have a HF mini-mill with the usual 7/16 slots, and a matching clamp kit. The studs that came with the kit are supposedly 3/8-16, and they work with the supplied nuts. However, to mount my angle plate on the table I need shorter bolts, with heads. When I try standard 3/8 bolts from other sources, the threads don't match exactly. A bolt gets stuck after going half way through a nut. Has anyone else had this problem? Do I need to get bolts manufactured to a special standard? Thanks in advance for any comments.
