From rust, to t-nuts

[mklotz]

Not exactly sure why, but I love watching people make T-nuts! Nicely done!

Yes, nicely machined. However, someone needs to tell him that one never taps T-nuts all the way through. If you do and then by accident tighten a bolt through to the point where it bottoms out in the slot and begins to lift the nut against the lips of the slot, you can break the lips out of the table.

A recovery is possible. If he damages the threads near the bottom of the nut so a bolt won't thread through he'll be safe. I'm not sure what the best tool to do that is. First thought is a cold chisel but what do I know?
