Better quality T-nuts - where to get them?
I’ve got an old box of zinc plated t-nuts. Think I got them from
Bunnings 10+ years ago. They’re terrible: the threads are poorly cut, gritty, and very easy to cross thread.
I see Anzor has some in stainless. Anyone tried?
Also wondering whether anyone’s ever come across them with the finer machine thread?
TIA

Re: T-nuts
You might be better off with a threaded insert, glue into place for extra strength as they won't take as much torque as a t-nut
