T-bolt & t-nut show and tell

[davidtu]

I keep hesitating from ordering t-bolts et al because I'm not sure if I want the t-bolts or the t-nuts w/ posts... and I'm not really sure how I'll use 'em tho they seem like they'd be very useful.

So, let's SEE and HEAR about how you've used 'em on your BT3 and which is better (bolts vs nuts + posts) for what application... game?

I used T-Bolts to build support legs for my wide table, and also to attach my rails together with aluminium angle. I like the bolts better for most things, but I'm sure there are uses for T-nuts.

I like bolts the best (tennoning jig and a new switch), but If you are going to attach a lot of different thicknesses of wood, then a t-nut would probably work better.

I would suggest buy the BT3 pack from Jeff for items specific to mount on the BT3 and various lengths of bolts and handles with bolts for shop-made jigs that are not attached to your saw.
