I use brass toilet flange bolts from the local hardware store.

ditto on the toilet bolts. you can file the heads pretty easy for other aplications, and cut the length easy since they are brass. Don’t know if it would work for your application but you can also get square nuts to go in the T-track and put the bolt in from above.

Cool! Thanks guys, I knew there would be some people on here who found suitable replacements. I bought a t track kit from rockler since it was on sale but wanted to have more bolts. This will work great.

Bayspt: I’m just using them for some jigs. Think I might make another crosscut sled, and a new router table.

Thanks again guys!

You can also take threaded rod, buy the hex or square nuts that fit the track and Silver Solder the nut’s on the end. I do it all the time..
You ain’t seen cheap till you get to meet.. me..
If I can’t make it cheap then it better be free..lol

If anyone needs a large quanity of toilet bolts go to doitbest.com. The 1/4” bolts are about $33.00 per hundred including shipping. Their service is pretty fast, 2 1/2 days.
