Roll-In Tee Nut Installation
Musical Suggestion
May we suggest The Alan Parsons Project?
There are a lot of tee nuts. Thankfully, this goes quickly with the extrusions labeled. The list below is fairly straightforward: the ID of the extrusion, the number of tee nuts needed, and a picture of roughly where each te`e nut goes. Click or tap the image to zoom in.
Attention
- The tee nuts only need to be in the right channel and roughly in the right place. We will position them more precisely later.
- Orientation only matters when a tee nut is near the edge of an extrusion. When a tee nut is very near the edge, put the roller bearing end in first. See A3 for an example. Note that the hole is closer to the outer edge.
Part List
Rather than a table, we'll use a short list:
- Every extrusion
- 275x PN575, Tee Nut, 6mm Slot, M5, Roll In (all of them)
