T Bolts for Porter Cable Drill Press 17-925

[Pass Christian WW]

I cannot seem to find the right square headed bolts for my Porter Cable Drill Press 17-925. The slot is slightly larger than 1" . I think I need a square head bolt that is not massive to fit in the slots. Does anyone have a source for these bolts? Thanks. Henry

Try Graingers, McMaster Carr, or Fastenal. One of them should have what you're looking for.

I couldn't find a square head bolt listed but most parts are listed, some are no longer available. Try this

If you can find the part number, let us know, then we'll (I'll) see what I can find. Do you know the thread size, bolt length, etc...?

Bumper bolts. Google it.

Don't forget to look into "Enco", they carry a lot of machinist's supplies.

I made threaded inserts for a friends milling machine that would be similar to what you need for your DP.Measure the width and depth of the slot.Buy a short length of the correct width bar steel and cut to length.Probably 1" or so. Drill and tap for a bolt or better yet threaded rod.After the insert is tapped,Peen the bottom threads with a punch to prevent the rod from turning in deeper than the insert.

THanks to all that replied and especially Mike. I am a dummy. Should have thought of this earlier.
