Will a regular 1/4 x 20 bolt accept knobs

[lcm1947]

I plan on installing T-track that is made to use this size bolt on several of my tables but was wondering if it would accept the standard woodworking knobs. Anybody know?

The knobs can be purchased in several sizes, 1/4 X 20 is one of them.
I make my own out of scrap wood and epoxy a 1/4 X 20 nut in.

you can buy knobs with 1/4-20 or 5/16-18 threads,
either with a threaded thru hole or a threaded rod part of the knob.
2, 3, 4, or 5-wing stars, knurled or round...
almost an endless combination.

Try the link to Jeff's. He sells most types of knobs on his site.

Well that certainly answers that question. Excellent news, thank you gentlemen and Jeff sells them, even better. [^] Nice knob Whaler. Hmmmm.

Great illustration! but it brings up a question.
I bought 8 of those closet bolts last week, they would not fit in my BT fence, so I spent Sunday night in the garage watching the nascar race and filing(grinding was noisey enough I could not here the commentary) them down to fit my track.
Are they fitting your track w/o modification or are you grinding or filing them down?

That picture was of one of the ones that I made for my router table.
For the BT I use Jeff's T nuts and a bolt in the knob rather than a nut.
It's a little work to make the knobs but my hands have a hard time with the small diameter of the store bought ones.

I will need to get an order off to Jeff.
I did pick a couple of the big T nuts at Woodsmith Store in the meantime. I was using the closet bolts for the smaller slots.
Filing them down is not that difficult or time consuming.
