As this may be of interest to others, I have decided to start a new thread, the original posted in mine entitled 'BH600G + T2 Dickson' yesterday.

Repeat/ (With slight change to the first sentence)

T-nut done, using the Boxford shaper, and it's the full length of the topslide T-slot, as suggested by Clive Foster, responding to my original post.

The Boxford shaper performed its magic, with smoking chips flying of the work piece, so I will need to make some deflector/s to stop them and get them to fall onto the tray. Must think up a universal design to be able to use the deflector/s on the milling machines, lathe and drilling machine.

I now, however, need more advise please, with regards the Toolpost post/stud.

Do I do as the original and have it screw into the new T-nut, or can I just weld it in?

Plug weld on the underside and maybe chamfer the top and weld there as well, don't know.

I will not use the sleeve that came with the Toolpost, so can make a thicker post/stud.

Welding will save having to use tap and die.

/Repeat

Edit:

Feeble brain totally forgot that I do have to use said threading instruments for the hold down nut or whatever I decide to make. Duh

Geoff – No workshop today.

Forgot to say that I've added a 'Warco BH600G' folder to My Photos.

Geoff – Giving brain a serious talking to, but getting no response.
