I want to slide a bolt along a slot and fix it like in a t bevel but somehow I can't find a strip of metal with a slot all the way along it. What are these called and where would I find one? Do I have to cut up a t bevel?
Why don't you drill two equal holes at each end of the slot you want, then carefully grind between the holes with a cutting disc in an angle grinder?
>>2825013BTW, That is called a sliding bevel, most DIY stores should have them.
>>2825013its an angle copy , most hardware stores have these in stock , they are not expensive and a must have if you do any kind of copy or refinishing work
>>2825013> I can't find a strip of metal with a slot all the way along it. That would be called two strips of metal. But really, just get two strips and join them at the end
>>2825092I might have to but that's a lot of work with tools I don't have. It's basically just a long washer so I thought I'd be able to pick up a pack for cheap at the local hardware store, but it looks like they don't exist.
>>2825134>tools I don't haveYou're on the wrong board if you don't have a drill and a grinder.
>>2825143Look at this faggot. Posting nonsense
>>2825147> /diy/> I don't have the tools/skillsPretty common occurrence here.
>>2825095Who on earth calls a sliding bevel a "angle copy"?
>>2825013You should do an internet search with some of your key words. There’s a bunch of extruded stuff that will do what you want.
>>2825308I did.Bolt slide washer? Straight slot rail? Adjustable screw clamp? Flat chain link? Extruded wingnut rod? Please help me by telling me exactly what I want is called.
>>2825359>flat slotted metal stripgibs many hits for mending plates and leads me to an amazon search of>slotted flat barwhich has loads of exactly what you're wantingwhen you don't know the exact name for shit keep your search terms dead simple and just describe its physical properties>shape>material>thicknessetc
>>2825013I’ll put a a slot in your metal for $100 Give me the thickness, length and width you want, location of the slot and length and width of the slot and PayPal me
>>2825835>mending platesThank you. That doesn't sound remotely like what I want but it's exactly the term I needed. >keep your search terms dead simpleGood advice generally but you've got the search engine too. ebay search for 'slotted flat bar' gave crowbars and mini screwdrivers.
Would a lid stay work?
Bevel square….
