Tapping for 40 Series Extrusions

Tapping is the process of using a tool called a tap to create threads inside a hole by carving precise grooves. This enables screws or bolts to securely attach to the ends of the extrusion.
For our T-Slot 40 Series extrusions, we employ an M8x1.25mm tap, ensuring holes that are 10mm deep through our service.

Price: $2.50 per extrusion end.  Alternatively, tapping T-Slot yourself is done relatively easily with a drill and a hex shank M8 Drill Tap.

What makes T-Slots such an easy assembly task?

1. 40 Series T-Slot Extrusions: These are the main structural components, usually made of aluminum, with slots along their lengths that allow you to easily connect various parts and accessories.
2. 40 Series Brackets and Connectors: These are specialized components designed to fit into the T-Slot extrusions and secure them together at various angles. They include corner brackets, T-nuts, L-shaped brackets, and other connectors.
3. Fasteners: Bolts, screws, and T-Nuts are required to attach the brackets and connectors to the T-Slot extrusions securely.
4. Tools: Basic hand tools like Allen keys (hex keys) are necessary for assembly. Additionally, a saw may be needed to cut the T-Slot extrusions to your desired lengths.

The Maker Store Advantage: We’re not just a store; we’re your partner in engineering. With compatibility, expertise, and quality as our cornerstones, we offer more than products; we provide solutions.
