Jay481985 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I wanted to test the strength of my hurricane nut on a hole.... So I brought a bag of them from parts express. I brought the 10-32 and so it needs a 1/4 inch hole to set it and then I banged it in with a hammer. I literally had to bend it out to get it out with pliers.

Zealot125 Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 So what is the benefit of using a hurricane nut or T nut instead of simply a washer and nut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 washer and nut cannot set in place properly after you put the speaker. You would need your hand to hold it up until the bolt (machine screw) is threaded into it. but oops the speaker just sealed the hole you made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 A washer and nut falls out of the cabinet when you unscrew it. Or to put it another way, when you are installing the driver you are unable to fit your hand behind the driver to hold the bolt in place. Also, T-Nuts allow one to remove and reinstall the driver many more times...screwing directly into the wood is really a one time thing.

Paul Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I looked in the list but still did not see the entry for the dayton subwoofer. I am using the alpha version, should I be using the older one? Also, what is the best way to secure the double layer of MDF together? Also, when speaking of the diameter of the flared port, are we talking about the narrow diameter in the middle, or the flared diameter of the ends? To secure mdf use bull dog grip 200/400 or simular ,To gether and never will part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we dicussed this earlier, and actually wood glue is the better alternative to industrial adhesives like this Bulldog stuff.. As well as they affix objects, it is the wood glue's reaction with cellulose (wood) that essentially "fuses" the peices together. Start with 2 peices of MDF, end with 1. If you use adhesive, you still end with 2 peices of mdf, albeit powerfully glued together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
