Thread: Square Nuts

Is this to fit in aluminium profile / extrusion? (e.g. 8020 or similar).

AME AME System | Workstation systems for efficient workplaces have some that suit their extrusion.

I'm guessing the ebay store you've looked at is: CNC AND CUPCAKE WORLD?
They just seem to resell AME parts and huge mark up.

Thanks for the reply - CNC AND CUPCAKE WORLD was the eBay store I was looking at. I will give AME System a call and see what they can do. I seem to recall there was a company in Sydney that sold them but a quick search of the forum didn't turn up anything.

8020 in seven hills, nsw sell T-slot nuts. (8020.com.au)

Not square but suitable for the 30/40 Series profile, purchased some a few years back for 50c a piece, purchased M8 nuts but he should also sell M6, they're rectangle with rounded ends.

This supplier might also sell some suitable nuts, very cheap

I was thinking of Profile Automation but I will check out 80/20 as well. Thanks very much!!

I see that Ch4is has already pointed in in a good direction, but are you certain that you need the nuts to be square?
It is possible that you can get away with standard hex nuts that are 1/2 thickness so long as they are 16mm across the flats.

Don't need to be square - 16mm across a single flat is the important measurement. Thickness is not as important, along as it is sufficient to tighten up. It would be good to find a Nyloc version as well!
