This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 299: 1973), of which the dimensions in inches have been deleted and to which clause 5 has been added. Specifies, in millimetres, the dimensions and spacing of T-slots. It also specifies the metric dimensions of bolts to be used in these slots.
T-slot nuts are used with workpieces on machine tool tables. The T-slot nut slides within a T-slot track while the workpiece is attached with a threaded clamp. They are also used on extruded. T-Slotted Aluminum Extrusion. Our T-Slotted Aluminum Extrusion Lines utilize corrosion resistant 6063-T6 Aluminum Alloy with a clear anodize finish. Not only do our T-Slotted Aluminum Profiles come in a variety of standard lengths and sizes, we also offer cut to length services to better meet your projects specific needs.

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.
