Framing Tech is proud to offer a full line of aluminum framing fasteners, from T-slot aluminum and T-slot extrusion pieces to economy nuts and specialty fasteners. We know that different aluminum framing projects require varying fastening pieces, that's why we offer.

Get shopping advice from experts, friends and the community! Standard miter slot size is 3/4 by3/8 deep, My new table saw #21807 has 5/8 wide 'T' slot. My jigs no longer fit. Any suggestions where to find 5/8 miter jigs? I don't relish the idea of trying to resize the jigs ( INCRA ) and some home made. Any manufacture makes 5/8' inch miter sleds etc? T-slot Nuts can be inserted into the aluminium profile groove. T-slot nuts are useful for securing components onto aluminium profiles, as well as joining two profiles together, by creating a clamping force for a screw in the groove. M3, M4, M5, M6 and M8 screws can be used depending on which T-slot Nut you choose.

A T-slot nut is used with a threaded clamp to position and secure pieces being worked on in a workshop. The T-slot nut slides along a T-slot track, which is set in workbench or table for a router, drill press, or bandsaw. T-slot nuts are also used with T-slot structural framing to build a variety of industrial structures and machines.

A T-slot bolt is generally stronger than a T-slot nut and hex-head cap screw.^[1]

A heavy-duty T-slot nut with a M12 bolt is rated to support 10000 N (about 1 imperial ton).^[2]

Profile 40×40 (40 mm by 40 mm, with 8 mm grooves) extruded aluminum profile^[clarify] and the T-slot nuts to fit into them comprised the first modular system developed for use in mechanical engineering in 1980 by item Industrietechnik.^[3] The item aluminum framing system has since been expanded to include a variety of t-slot nuts that have been designed for specific applications.

The item system is very similar to the 'channel-and-groove design' used in some toys.
