The tee nut is deliberately left large so it can be fitted to your lathe. It is a metric thread on the P-2. I believe it is a M14 but not positive. I can measure mine if you want. It isn¡¯t too hard to mill. You have a wide fitment tolerance for it. You can also file or grind it to fit.

Hey Guys,
Just transitioning to my new-to-me Phase 2 tool post on my SB9c.? No way the t-nut that came with it will fit.? I see three options:
1. Re-mill the t-nut that came with the post.? My least preferred option as I am not completely comfortable with my Burke No. 4 yet.
2. Redrill and thread my existing t-nut to fit the Phase 2.? I do not know the thread pitch, and I am thinking it might be metric.? Any ideas on the size/pitch?
3. Make a new post to fit the Phase 2 that matches the thread size and pitch of my current t-nut, and replace the top nut to an imperial thread.? Leaning towards this.
Please share your thoughts, and if you know the specifications of the t-nut thread.
Thanks,
Greg
