Container floor anchors
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.

For bug-free operation, countersink the holes 1/4" and fill with cap head mach screws when not in service. Nice and flush. -- We're all here because we're not all there. |

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.

Those keep the tee nut from rotating or pulling out. Have gotten them from Ace and Lowe's. Can be had in stainless. I usually use a drill press and a Forstner bit to recess them flush. Kind of hard to do it that way on a floor, though... Inserts work, too, may be more work cranking them into place, though. You can get steel or brass, brass wouldn't rust. Use beeswax for lube when cranking them in. If you've got sand problems, drill the holes deep and get some plastic caps for the unused holes, they make them. Stan |

Threaded inserts such as the ones I pointed out on McMaster are easy to install, and don't make an appreciable difference in the floor surface, something that is important if you roll stuff around or need a flat floor for layout. |

Instead of routing the inset holes on the floor, you could use a Forstner bit. Common lockset sizes like 2.125 or 2.375 might be good; see [1]. You could use large-diameter filler covers (above the thinner hole threaded for your hold-down bolts) like those used in floor box covers, see [2]. You could buy large-diameter set-screws, or maybe make them by cutting sections from a foot of 1" all-thread, but some electrical suppliers have nice threaded knockout filler plugs, which I can't find online at the moment. See [3, 4] for some lesser imitations.

"Steve B" fired this volley in
news I have two containers with oak (?) flooring. I have a roll around Hey, Steve. You need to watch out for one thing, and I mean this. 1) those floors aren't oak, they're usually a tropical mahogany or mahogany-like wood. By themselves, their sawdusts are somewhat poisonous. 2) almost all containers that originated in China (and most do, sorry), have floor wood that has been saturation-treated with Chlordane. It's a "hard" poison that will not deteriorate in the soil. So don't breathe the sawdust! (but DO scratch it into the soil around the foundation of your house... GGG) LLoyd |

GGG) LLoyd On the plate outside the container, it states that it has chlordane in it. I never thought about scattering the sawdust around. I rented a country house in the 70's in southern Louisiana. We had fire ants, and I mean hills the size of washtubs. My veterinarian landlord brought me a Mason jar of white granules. He said to use about four grains per ant hill, and that it was chlordane, something that was outlawed. That stuff worked very well. It was a yearly ritual with the new queens flying in, but it did help a lot. I'll remember to keep the sawdust. Thanks. I would have never thought of it, even though I did see it on the container label. Steve visit my blog at http://cabgbypasssurgery.com free books while they last! |

You need to watch out for one thing, and I mean this. 1) those floors aren't oak, they're usually a tropical mahogany or mahogany-like wood. By themselves, their sawdusts are somewhat poisonous. 2) almost all containers that originated in China (and most do, sorry), have floor wood that has been saturation-treated with Chlordane. It's a "hard" poison that will not deteriorate in the soil. So don't breathe the sawdust! (but DO scratch it into the soil around the foundation of your house... GGG) LLoyd Chlordane (unless Im thinking of something else) is also known to be a bit hard on cats. Ive seen few cats around storage yards with cargo containers, while next door, many cats.

But then, I might just put that outside anchored in concrete so I can put some torque on it. Steve visit my blog at http://cabgbypasssurgery.com free books while they last! |

I don't see the need for anything elaborate. The table saw & the router table don't transfer significant (shear) loads to the floor. The bender should have a base plate large enough for the correct number of bolts so it spreads the load out. If you still need something more you can use threaded inserts, my local hardware has them up to 1/2" ( takes a 1/2" 13 tpi bolt) on the shelf. Andrew |

Your idea about threaded inserts is good, it's just that I would have a hard time keeping them clean, as I get a lot of sand in my shop. Kinda wanted to rout out a big enough area under the attachment so that there would be a constant airspace, and sand/moisture buildup could not accelerate electrolysis. I kinda think I already know what I'm going to do, just looking for something prefab that I can slap down and go. Steve visit my blog at http://cabgbypasssurgery.com free books while they last! |

You get sand in your shop anyway, so having the holes open below shouldn't be an issue. Use the threaded inserts with through holes, i.e. drill the appropriate hole size for the insert all the way through the floor then thread in the insert. Sand and dirt will fall through leaving the insert clean. |

Add alignment pins to the base that fit in pipe sleeves that you place in the floor. The lags will keep it anchored and the pins will handle the torque of the bender. I have a buddy that has a Hossfeld lagged to the floor of his barn it works ok with the cro molly tubing for race car frames. Andrew |

'Coupla thoughts:
- you probably don't need hold downs on the router & saw - the forces on them are pretty small - you only need 2 hold downs on the brake - to keep the front from lifting - you do NOT want to use bolts of any kind - you do not want to be screwing & unscrewing bolts every time you use it. You want to move it into place, lock it down with MINIMAL motion & get to using it. I would do something like this: have a plate in the floor with a keyhole opening (a circle with a smaller tail). On your brake you have a bolt whose head fits through the keyhole circle & whose shank fits the tail. You move the brake over the floor plate, lower the bolt through the keyhole, slide it slightly into the tail, & tighten the bolt. NOT by running a nut on its threads, but with a pull toggle clamp, like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Toggle-clamp-pus...l_Work_Holding One flip of the lever tightens you down & another flip releases. That's how I would do it, Bob |
