You couldn't rotate them because there sitting on the slot in the Extrusion you have to screw in pull up the screw with the tnut attached and turn while the tnut is floating between the slots
Searched for a t slot nut video and this one came up. Very useful because I didn't know the difference between them all. I will definitely be using the regular ones after watching this video. Looks like they will be the most stable for sure.
Yes, I think so too. Best bang for the buck too. I think the drop in nuts are for this very special occasion (blocked slots) and should not be used otherwise. But just my speculations here haha :)
LOL you just need to lift the t nut by actually screwing something together. Once it starts to pull up out of the track it has just enough room to spin. If it is pushed down in the back of the track it does not turn easily.
@@ChrisViralVlogs They can still be a bit a pain if there is any tension or misalignment of the bolt coming down into the track/T nut that prevents them from spinning as they should.
Once you learn how to use the spring loaded ones they're amazing. You can buy these in bulk from china at a good discount. That said, Misumi sells a springloaded design that is better, but cost more.
if youre using drop in ones a tiny bit of thread lock on the bolt should help it catch and turn the nut

The spring-loaded ones are also called Roll-In T-Nuts because... well, i'm sure you'll figure it out. ;-)

Oh yeah I can definitely imagine that, thanks for the tip :D
A LOT more, $50/100
Good grief, never seen anyone use t nuts so ineptly.
And there is no way those angle brackets are cheaper than t nuts.
Maybe before doing a comparison learn how they work first. To anyone else about to watch this video, look elsewhere.
