I have no idea what kind of nuts I'm actually supposed to use with
this fence, nor where to buy them.

In preparing to attach some shop-built accessories to my fence, I
needed to solve this problem. No off the shelf hex nuts seemed to
fit without spinning, so I fired up my metal bandsaw. I cut some
3/4" wide 3/16" thick cold rolled steel bar stock into suitable
widths for a loose but "tight enough" fit in the tracks, then drilled
and tapped them for #10-32 machine screws.

It proved to be a fun project for my kids to participate in, and I
manufactured way more than a lifetime supply of these things. If
anyone is in need, I'd be happy to part with my extra stock. They're
not made to ultra high tolerances, but they should do the job. (You
supply your own #10-32 machine screws of suitable length for whatever
application you have in mind.)

Email if interested.

Hmmmmm... wierd Silvan. I had to come up with new attaching hardware for my
Align-A-Rip when I built my table extensions and I just grabbed a standard
5/16 (I think...) bolt and stuck the head in the channel the same way that
the Sears provided bolts fit in. Ran some nuts up on them and off we went.
Since the nuts have the same head shape as the bolts, I would think you
could have simply reversed the fastener to accomplish your objective.
But... like you said - you turned it into a thing with the kids and that's a
better solution.
