Nuts

I've been looking for 12mm T nuts with an M6 hole for a while, to use with my very small vice. I finally decided to make some as I couldn't find any. Some steel arrived and off I went.






The one on the left is the 12mm T nut with an M10 hole. Mine are on the right. They work nicely. I think I'll have to cut some bolts down to a useful length though. The mill pretty easily cut these out too, I managed to make the cuts in a single pass, which made it easier.  One I get the DRO going I'll be able to take multiple cuts more easily, I just couldn't be bothered this time.
