what's more common? 10-24 or 10-32?

[Jeff]

Trying to decide if I should switch the small t-nut thread to 10-32 instead of 10-24. Just wondering if y'all have any input on this, since I can't find too many existing knobs in 10-24, just yet.

Just a thought...why not both?
But seriously, the 10-24 (course thread) thread should be the more common in our realm. The 10-32 thread would be used for metal parts that need a fine thread for adjustment, etc.
I think if you'll check some of the woodworking sites, you'll find that most don't even offer the 10-32 as an alternate.
The 10-24 thread is a much deeper thread and therefore better for our type of applications.

Cabinet knobs / drawer pulls seem to be 10-32 but that doesn't necessarily make them a better choice.

Most drawer pulls are somewhat expensive and not always easy to grasp like a jig knob should be.

Obviously the best solution would be a ready source of inexpensive 10-24 knobs so you don't have to re-tool. They must exist because an old sawtable came with them. Tossed that hunk-o-junk but kept the knobs.

But somewhere - probably in China - there is a source for these things at the "nice price."

TTFN,

I created a poll so people can vote, I'd like to see what happens on this subject.

Not yet, surprisingly there has been very little response to my request for feedback. Can count them on one hand. Still mulling it over though, since lately there have been more inquiries.
Lately the focus has been on t-nut accessories like knobs and t-bolts and such, things that are not readily available.
If you know what you want (uhmw), let me know so I can get an idea of what people want.

Can you give me an idea of the standard sizes that are available? Blocks in 1" are great for rail and stile set up... while the sheet good uses just boggle the immagination! Truth be told, I sure like to resurface my shaper with uhmw for a beginning. And of course that stuff makes great surfaces for rip fences.

So does that help any?
