    Exclamation Aaaargh! Friggin online catalogues!

    Aaargh

    I'm looking to make a jig for the tablesaw. Plans for similar in USA publications blandly list multiple threaded knobs, inserts and threaded rod in unusual designations.

    If I go online to Carbatec there are a few knobs and the like at $$$ prices. I just want to make a jig from scrap and not use $75+ in bolts and knobs and threaded inserts.

    So I go online to Bunnies and Masters and try and find suitable cheap options for fixings. Do you think I can find brass threaded rod or wing nuts or anything similarly specific in their online catalogues? No!

    I know if I walk down the aisles, these things are there. Why can't I find them and their specs online?

    Oh fuzzy one, in the end I just turned a knob and epoxied the all thread in.

    Blunderings has the 1/4 in in 32" lengths inthe cheap and cheerful price range.
