I have two containers with oak (?) flooring. I have a roll around router
table, and a small table saw that I'd like to mount to the floor, but be
able to unmount it quickly. Where can I find some type of t bolts that I
can drill an oversized hole in the wood, put the female anchor in there
flush with the floor, secure it in, and have enough room around it to blow
out chips once I take it loose? I have a router table on a base, table
saw,
and metal bender I'd like to anchor down. I think if I use a lag, the
hole
will wallow in the wood. I could take some square plate, cut some vent
blow
holes, drill it, weld a nut on the underside, rout out a place on the
floor,
and mount that with countersinks, but I was wondering if there was
anything
available that was pre made that I could just slam down.

If you use lag bolts make sure they are not made in china. When I
bolted down the machines in my simi trailer I twisted off a couple and
they where a bitch to cut off under the machines or lifting them over
the broken bolts.

Please reread my post. I do not want to use lags.
