Blank T-Nuts, or long blank

[pandreasen]

My mini mill, LMS 3960, is down for a rebuild. I just came up with a need for some odd T-Nuts, but obviously can't mill them myself right now. I need either some blanks (with no holes) or better, a one foot strip of cheap steel (hardly any stress will be applied) cut where I can just slice off a piece as needed to fit 12mm slots. Can anyone provide me with that? I will be glad to pay a reasonable price. Hopefully close to California.

Hi,
Can you post a cross sectional drawing sketch of the Tee dimensions?

From McMaster Carr, possible fit for you?

edit: I had to re-read; I dyslexified your question, you wanted 12mm slots not 12mm bolts... they have those, too, for a better price. Of course, you could probably get away with a milled aluminum profile on a small mill, but there's a turn-key option with McMaster.

The only way I could use them (I have a bunch already) is to Loktite a bolt in place, cut it off (no mill remember?) and re drill it for the size hole I need. No one that I can find, makes one with smaller (.25" and below) already drilled.
But thanks for asking!
God Bless
