Source for Incra Square Nuts - cad - 11-13-2015
Anyone know a place I can get these besides directly from Incra. They're 1/4 x 20. The Incra ones are kind of pricey. Or are they proprietary to Incra?

rockler and woodcraft both have them
but they may not be the same size other than the threads.
I would check carefully

I got mine off 80/20 on Ebay.

McMaster-Carr, search for "weld nuts" or "tab base weld nuts". About $5.00 for 25. I found 80/20's to be a little narrow for the Incra & Kreg tracks, but perfect for that narrower profile that 80/20 makes.
When i do a McMaster-Carr order, i also usually order a few boxes of common nuts/bolts i use--1/4-20 1", 1.5", 2", etc. I've built up a reasonable stock. I can usually buy 100 for the price of 25 or so at the local Ace and i make fewer and fewer trips into town--which takes an hour by the time i get cleaned up, leave and get back.
Shipping is cheap, and at least for me always within two days.

1/4 20 is the general default size for T tracks, and such.
McMaster Carr get some
Or from the opposite point of view
better for 80/20
If someone has a lead on shorter 1/4 20 flat head T bolts like the ones I posted from MC please post a link. 25 or so for just a few $$$. Thanks

You could also use thin hex nuts in T-track. Less than 4ยข a piece for zinc plated steel.

You could cut suitabe pieces of flat mind steel bar and drill holes and tap them. There is no reason to buy stuff like that.
Suitable raw material can often be found cheap at some scrap yard.

some things are not worth the effort to fabricate
this is one of them
