Our team takes steel 1/4-20 bolts and grinds the heads so they can fit in the 80/20 grooves. Then we put a lock nut on the top.
If your're too lazy to grind bolts you could also buy these.
One heck of a lot cheaper than 80/20, and it will never come loose.
Or you could just put lock-tite on the 80/20 bolts, but thats a pain. |
I know something we've done simliar to this in the past, but we drilled out the channel so a standard 1/4-20 bolt head would fit in, then we slide it where we need it. This works fairly well with good planning, this is how we're going to bolt down the bearing block.
