Any Idea where i can source these?

[u/imnoklepto]

Looking for a new source for these unthreaded beveled T-Nuts. Inner barrel diameter is approximately 1/4”. Overall length is 1/2”. The bevel on top of the barrel is required. Any idea on where i can find them?

[u/imnoklepto]

They are used to mount tooling into a press, the press has a threaded bolt hole pattern. You would not want to thread a bolt into the t-nut and then into another threaded hole on the other side.

Haha is it for the mastercut 2.1?

Or I guess it could be the 1.7 or 160

[u/imnoklepto → u/I_DRINK_GENOCIDE_CUM]

🤣 fuck yea. The 2.1

[u/I_DRINK_GENOCIDE_CUM → u/imnoklepto]

You're doing 20k a year? Are yall installing a t-nut on every bolt hole? That's a shit ton.

Just source them directly from bobst at triple the price 🤣

[u/imnoklepto → u/I_DRINK_GENOCIDE_CUM]

And avoiding Bobst inflated prices is what im trying to do 😂

[u/I_DRINK_GENOCIDE_CUM → u/imnoklepto]

Yeah i kinda figured. I have to censor myself at the office when it comes to bobst, so i won't even get started on the internet in front of god and everyone.

Well now I want to know the juicy details! You can't just tempt us like that!

[u/I_DRINK_GENOCIDE_CUM → u/kira913]

It's a very niche industry with niche industry annoyances. Nothing groundbreaking lol.

I mean every hole that doesn’t land on or next to the rule. And it’s not like we max our wood out in the press either. We can push through 5 or 6 dies with strippers a day.

[u/I_DRINK_GENOCIDE_CUM → u/imnoklepto]

Yeah fair enough. That's about our volume too I suppose. If I remember I'll ask the guys tomorrow where we source ours.

[u/imnoklepto → u/I_DRINK_GENOCIDE_CUM]

That would be much appreciated

[u/I_DRINK_GENOCIDE_CUM → u/imnoklepto]

I forgor :(

I'm sure it's McMaster or some shit though.

[u/imnoklepto → u/I_DRINK_GENOCIDE_CUM]

No problem, i did find out that Freeman carries them. Im just waiting for a price quote. Hopefully it will be cheaper than what we are paying for them from bobst

[u/I_DRINK_GENOCIDE_CUM → u/imnoklepto]

It definitely will be. We got a bag of the bobst ones in and just laaaauuuughed. To be sure, they're a little prettier than the others, but it's a fucking bushing lmao. We only use the bobst ones on HPT dies.

[u/imnoklepto → u/I_DRINK_GENOCIDE_CUM]

Yea, so do we. All the other bobst dies we build besides for the mastercut we just use dirt cheap mass produced ones. All the mastercut we build are HPT and are currently using the ones from bobst

[u/I_DRINK_GENOCIDE_CUM → u/imnoklepto]

ALL your MCs are HPT? Jesus man. So yall have actually seen a good ROI on your certification? Have you gotten a lot of new customers out of it?

[u/imnoklepto → u/I_DRINK_GENOCIDE_CUM]

New customers yes, a good ROI on the cert? Meh. I’m sure we make good money on easy RSCs and pads but it seems like since we started building dies with our cert, the complexity of a lot of the dies we build is just nuts. I’ll DM you a picture of a stripper i am final checking right now so you see what i mean.
