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.

Threaded inserts, tee nuts(woodworking type) or make your own. Chunks
of flat plate with tapped holes, inletted into and screwed to the
floor. Just depends on how big you want your hold-down bolts to be.
You can get tee-nuts with holes in the flanges for nails or screws so
they don't have to be underneath the wood to hold. If it's just light
woodworking machinery, it isn't going to dance around a lot, you could
maybe get by with 1/4-20s. Can get tee nuts and threated inserts at
Ace.

Where I live is on top of sand dunes, essentially. I blow and vacuum out my
container weekly. My concern is keeping them clean enough to use, and not
letting them get sand in there where they can get moist and rust. How would
you use a T nut when you can't get behind the board?
