Hi
Does anyone have a good UK source for the M4 slot6 T-Nuts as used with extrusion with 6mm slots eg. Ormerod.

Thanks
I just think 50p per nut is outrageous. So far it looks like I will have to buy from the US or France. The French option looks good at 0.18 Euro each but the website is only in french so I am a little hesitant. At least no customs duty from France. Why no-one in the UK seems to sell these at a proper price I do not know.

I must be stupid, I can't even figure out how to use the Misumi web site!
Not much luck searching for weld nuts either.

@bobc You're not alone. I've had trouble figuring out that crazy website too.
I don't know if anyone else has tried this but I have successfully used 1/4" carriage bolts in 1" aluminum t-slot extrusion. The head of the bolt fits almost perfectly in the slot. Some of them require a tiny grind to fit. It is pretty easy and cheap as well. I have used the nuts in my clone of mendelmax 2.

What Konwiddak said-
An M5 full nut will slip quite snugly down the channel of 20X20 Bosch Rexroth 6mm slot
An M5 nut with a couple of flats filed/ ground will slip down V slots 5mm slot.
I sound like a cheapskate but it's surprising how many nuts you end up using.
BoschRexroth fittings - angle brackets etc. - come with M4 fixings but will take an M5 without modifying.

However, since China is 30 days away and when I need 10 more t-nuts I'm not that calm,
IMPORTANT ADDITION: If the filed flats are a little big bigger, you can insert the M5 just anywhere in the channel, not neccessary at the ends.
And this is a HUGE advantage, especially since I have my printer allready assembled.
So, till T-nuts arrive, filed M5 work just fine !!!
More savings :-)
