No commercially available t-nuts are going to fit. So make your own or buy Felder, which most likely won¡¯t be a t-nut, it will be a flat bar with a threaded hole.

I¡¯ve been hunting for T-slot nuts for the k700s and McMaster Carr, just emailed me a response that basically said they can¡¯t help me. ?Strange, because I just watched a video where this person bought them from McMaster. ?I even sent them my exact dimensions of the Felder supplied t nut.?
?
The price on the Felder store is for one nut. I've spent a good amount of time trying to find and off-the-shelf nut from McMaster and Grainger, and ordered a couple I thought might work. I've been unsuccessful so far. Most tee (off-the-shelf) nuts are designed for use in cast iron (it seems).
I wonder if I missed getting necessary accessories, like clamps and a ripping shoe, when I ordered my saw. I¡¯ll chalk that up to not knowing much about the saw when I bought it.
I see that the Felder store is out of tee-nuts for the slider groove. They want $35, but it is not clear whether that is one nut or a handful. Any other sources for this sort of thing?
What are the dimensions of the tee-nuts? There is a wide variety of tee-nuts available through Grainger and Other industrial supply places, or I could have someone make a few for me, but I would have to know what dimensions to look for.
Thanks for any guidance!
