Purpose?

[Peacons]

My new LMS high torque Mini mill has a t slot on the front edge of the table with a round hole at each end.
Regular tee nuts don't fit, so what is the purpose of this slot??

On my mill, they are for travel stops, for when using power feed.

FWIW, you can get t-nuts in all sorts of sizes. They're also easy enough to make.

could the holes be for a bolt head to pass through and use instead of a "T" nut?

In the US of A we call them carriage bolts, round head, square shank.

Have to take a look at both of those possibilities
