The same thing happened on the "Where to buy wood" thread. The OP made a bogus post with a link to a non on topic web site. The moderator deleted the link but left the post since it was "on topic". Well guess what, the OP edited his original post and re-added the bogus link. The thread should be deleted and the poster deleted also.

Just my opinion of course.
Cute or lazy? Can't believe they started plagiarizing older posts from the forum. Of course, maybe you guys have seen all of this before, but it is new to me...
No, all of this spam is fairly new. Just in the last year or so. IMO it is the result of the ever increasing tracking of the Googles of the internet and their ilk. Get your web site anywhere on the internet and it comes up higher on searches.

Thankfully we have moderators that are doing a great job of deleting the junk. I get email notifications of new posts. They are sent as soon as a post occurs. When I get up in the morning and check my email I see posts that appear to be spam. When I log on to the forum those posts are not there because the moderators are doing their job.

The moderators efforts are very much appreciated.

I agree 100%...just surprised by how crafty the spammers are sometimes.

I was a little worried that these would be too big to fit into the slots of my Micro Mark mill (the same Sieg X2 that is sold by Grizzly, Micro Mark, and many others). But they just fit and slide very smoothly without modifying them.

I am making an assembly with 20 X 20 mm aluminium extrude. A T nut is required to assemble the brackets and the extrude, however T nuts are quite expensive in my city, what are the cheap alternatives I can use?

I am thinking to make it work with a bolt, washer and a nut, the washer and the bolt will hook into the channel and can use a nut to clamp the brackets vidmate.app saveinsta

Can you be more specific? Are you looking for general purpose T nuts or the specific ones that Shopsmith sells? 20mm extrusions are common and there are lots of different applications t-nuts and manufacturers for them so I am surprised to hear you say they are expensive. For example, you can get 100 pieces of them on Amazon for $12 that fit 20 series extrusions. The Shopsmith specific ones, which are larger and application specific, cost $10.89 for a 4 pack.

Maybe not so in India where this posters IP is located.

Dusty,

Thanks. It would be helpful if this forum would show the location of all posters on the forum because standard forum members (like myself) can't see that info for members who don't voluntarily list it on their profile. So, I checked on Amazon's India website and I don't think the issue for dinkarvid is t-nut price. I think the issue is very little inventory leading to price escalation. I found quite a few 20 series t-nuts on the Amazon India website but unfortunately most of them had no price because they were no longer available or they were other extrusion sizes. This is probably why the poster was asking because of low inventory available in country due to growth, supply chain, etc., etc.
