This style of T-nut has been common to the woodworker ever since the invention of T-track.
We stock 2 shank lengths for you convenience when designing jigs and fixtures. They provide a simple yet strong means to attach feather boards and jigs to aluminum extruded T-tracks found on many power tool table and fence systems.
Their 3/4" length distributes the clamping force over a longer area preventing damage inside the aluminum track. They accept standard 1/4-20 fasteners available at your local hardware store. I recommend these nuts and their matching T-track for this very reason. On those occasions where a nut and bolt arrangement like this is not so handy, we offer damage-preventing T-bolts.
NOTE: recent years has seen the development of T-tracks that accept the head of standard 1/4" hex head bolts (7/16" across the flat). This nut will not fit those tracks. I recommend you take care not to over tighten fasteners on those tracks because the contact area of a hex head is very small.
