Holes and Slots
These T-slot nuts fit a (12 mm) 7/16' T-slot and are threaded 3/8-16. The nuts are the correct size for the Mini Mill. The 12mm nuts are heat treated and have a black oxide finish. The stated dimension of the T-slot nut is the width at the top of the T-slot. Chris' Tips Chris' Tips. If there’s an informal occasion on the agenda, and your table is 30 inches wide and 72 inches long, chances are the needed drop is 12 x 12 inches. To find the right size with the help of our Tablecloth Size Chart, first up, consult the “Table Size” column for 30 x 72. The owner wanted bigger, so we have a 5 x 12. In my 6 weeks of using our new router, the owner was right. Generally I have the table sectioned off for 4x8, but there have been many occasions already where I needed 10'+. We are a millwork company so we get into large pieces frequently. Whatever size you get, it will change your shop for the better. Works with standard 3/4' x 3/8' miter gauges with or without a T-slot. Our track is great for shop built router tables that are not equipped to handle a miter gauge. You can add a miter or sliding fixture to anything that can be routed out to fit the Miter T-Track work bench, table saw extensions, drill press tables, and band saw tables. I used my die grinder with a cut off wheel to remove the tabs. Then I touched it up with a straight flat file. This could be done with a hack saw.
Standard Holes
Standard hole sizes for bolts are made 1/16-in. larger in diameter than the nominal size of the fastener body. This provides a certain amount of play in the holes, which compensates for small misalignment’s in hole location or assembly, and aids in the shop and field entry of fasteners. In the absence of approval by the engineer for use of other hole types, standard holes shall be used in high strength bolted connections.
Although most holes for high-strength bolts are made 1/16-in. larger in diameter than the bolt body, certain conditions encountered in field erection require greater adjustment than this clearance can provide and approval from the engineer is required.
The maximum sizes of holes for bolts are given in the table below, except that larger holes, required for tolerance on location of anchor bolts in concrete foundations, are permitted in column base details.
Standard holes shall be provided in member-to-member connections, unless oversized, short-slotted or long-slotted holes in bolted connections are approved by the designer. Finger shims up to 1/4-in. may be introduced into slip-critical connections designed on the basis of standard holes without reducing the allowable shear stress of the fastener.
Oversize and Slotted Holes
When approved by the engineer, oversize, short slotted holes or long slotted holes may be used subject to the following joint detail requirements:
(1) Oversize holes may be used in any or all plies of connections in which the allowable slip resistance of the connection is greater than the applied load. Oversized holes shall not be used in bearing-type connections. Hardened washers shall be installed over oversized holes in an outer ply.
(2) Short slotted holes may be used in any or all plies of connections designed on the basis of allowable stress on the fasteners provided the load is applied approximately normal (between 80 and 100 degrees) to the axis of the slot. Short slotted holes may be used without regard for the direction of applied load in any or all plies of connections in which the allowable slip resistance is greater than the applied force. Washers shall be installed over short-slotted holes in an outer ply; when high strength bolts are used, such washers shall be hardened.
(3) Long slotted holes may be used in one of the connected parts at any individual faying surface in connections designed on the basis of allowable stress on the fasteners provided the load is applied approximately normal (between 80 and 100 degrees) to the axis of the slot. Long slotted holes may be used in one of the connected parts at any individual faying surface without regard for the direction of applied load on connections in which the allowable slip resistance is greater than the applied force. Where long-slotted holes are used in an outer ply, plate washers or a continuous bar with standard holes, having a size sufficient to completely cover the slot after installation, shall be provided. In high-strength bolted connections, such plate washers or continuous bars shall not be less than 5/16-in. thick and shall be of structural grade material, but not be hardened. If hardened washers are required for use of high-strength bolts, the hardened washers shall be placed over the outer surface of the plate washer or bar.
(4) Fully inserted finger shims between the faying surfaces of load transmitting elements of connections are not to be considered a long slot element of a connection.
Nominal Hole Dimensions
Anchor Bolt Holes
Hole sizes for steel-to-steel structural connections are not the same as hole sizes for steel-to-concrete anchorage applications. In the case of steel-to-steel connections, the parts are made in a shop under good quality control, so standard holes (bolt diameter plus 1/16″), oversized holes (bolt diameter plus 3/16″), and short and long-slotted holes can be used quite successfully. However, the field placement of anchorage devices has long been subject to more permissive tolerances (and often, inaccuracies that exceed those tolerances anyway and may require consideration by the structural Engineer of Record).
AISC published Steel Design Guide Series 1, Column Base Plates back in the early 1990s. At that time, it was recognized that the quality of foundation work was getting worse and worse. To allow the erector (and designer) greater latitude when possible, the permissible hole sizes in base plates were increased. These same larger hole sizes were included in the 2nd ed. LRFD Manual. The values there are maximums, not a required size. Smaller holes can be used if desired. Plate washers are generally required with these holes because ASTM F436 washers can collapse into the larger-sized holes, even under erection loads.
The larger hole sizes are primarily intended for the majority of base plates that transfer only axial compression from the column into the foundation. The anchor rods don’t usually do much after erection in that case.
To allow for misplaced bolts, holes in base plates are oversized. The AISC Manual of Steel Construction recommends the following oversized hole diameters for each bolt diameter:
Anchor Bolt Hole Dimensions
AISC, Steel Design Guide Series 1, Column Base Plates, suggests that using oversize holes meeting these criteria may still not accommodate field variations in anchor bolt placement and suggests adding 1/4 in. to the hole diameter listed. The guide recommends using a heavy plate washer over the holes. The AISC Structural Steel Educational Council cites the following example: “If bolts are misplaced up to 1/2 inch, the oversized base plate holes normally allow the base plate and column to be placed near or on the column line. If the bolts are misplaced by more than 1/2 inch, then corrective work is required.”
Based on AISC oversize holes, the AISC Structural Steel Educational Council recommendations, and concrete contractor anchor-bolt placement techniques, ASCC (American Society of Concrete Contractors) concrete contractors recommend the following tolerance for each bolt location:
- 3/4-in. and 7/8-in. diameter bolts: ±1/4 in.
- 1-in., 1-1/4-in., and 1-1/2-in. diameter bolts: ±3/8 in.
- 1-3/4-in., 2-in., and 2-1/2-in. diameter bolts: ±1/2 in.

Are you frustrated trying to figure out the perfect size tablecloth to fit your tables? Are you considering buying multiple shapes and sizes just to see which style looks best? Don’t despair—we’re here to help! Once you know what to look for, finding the right size tablecloth the first time is a breeze.
Some of the process, like the length of the tablecloth, depends on your preference. For a casual look (and a lower price!), choose a lap-length tablecloth. Floor length will be more elegant, but is also a bit pricier. Regardless of your choice, our tips will narrow your search and help you find exactly what you need!

How to Find the Right Size Tablecloth
- Measure the dimensions of your tabletop (length x width or diameter).
- Multiply your preferred drop length by 2, and add the result on to the tabletop dimensions.
- Find the closest standard size that matches your tabletop dimensions, or place a custom order.
*Pro Tip* - Here’s an easy formula for finding the right size: Diameter + Desired Drop x 2 = Tablecloth Size
For Round Tablecloths
Table Saw Miter Slot Size
- Measure the diameter and height of the table. Hint: a standard banquet table is 30 inches high.
- If you want a lap-length drop, add 30 inches to the tabletop measurement.
- If you want a floor-length drop, add 60 inches to the tabletop measurement.
Standard Table Sizes: | For Lap Length, you need: | For Floor Length, you need: |
36' Round Table | 90' round cloth | |
48' Round Table | 108' round cloth | |
60' Round Table | 120' round cloth | |
72' Round Table | 132' round cloth |
Square and Rectangle Tablecloths
Sizing a tablecloth for square and rectangle tables works the same way.
- First, measure the length, width and height of your table.
- Then use the two formulas below to determine size your table needs:
- Tablecloth Length = Table Length + Desired Drop (times 2)
- Tablecloth Width = Table Width + Desired Drop (times 2)
