My new LMS high torque Mini mill has a t slot on the front edge of the table with a round hole at each end.

Regular tee nuts don't fit, so what is the purpose of this slot??

Those are usually used for manual stops. At least that's what I've used them for.

By the way, Welcome to the forum Paul.

Thanks for that!
Looks like another project has just reared it's head!
Welcome to the forum!!!
Also sometimes used to mount long pieces to machine the ends such as drilling and tapping holes.
Didn't realize two holes and a slot could be so useful.
Welcome. My new LMS 3990 just came in this weekend. Now to get mounted to my work bench? Will be following this thread.
