OK....Can you tell me what they are ?...point and push me to a website/video? I'm open to suggestions for this.
Thanks
What size/shape is your miter slot?
Standard 3/8" x 3/4"
3/8" x 3/4" T-slot
or something else
Incra miter slider (aluminum)
Zeroplay miter stop
Just search for miter slot stop or t slot miter stop
there are many different styles
I would check with all the companies that make feather boards. My Benchdog feather board uses a similar bolt but it's 1/4-20 thread.

I didn't even the mag route, there are many options there as well
Gotcha. I can't even make an estimate of the hours I've wasted looking for things that should just be 'there'. I swore I'd have whatever tools any machine required right there. If that takes 5 sets of Bondhus hex keys, so be it. Inch and Metric if necessary, and a set on each bench ...
I’d say Mr. McMurray nailed it. Buy some of those metric bolts, and some metric knobs, store them screwed together, and whenever you need the spare knobs and bolts, you’d have them. Seems to me that since they’ll be ‘separate’ from the originals, metric vs imperial wouldn’t make much of a difference. My $0.02Originally Posted by Maurice Mcmurry;[URL="tel:3215011"
Best of luck.
Don't let it bring you down,
It's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning,
And you will come around

I think this might work. Hacksaw, aviation snips, hammer. I hammered the nib in and hammered the slot snug. A tiny spot with the MIG., Glue, Soldering or Brazing do not seem necessary.

While your approach looks like it will work just fine, this is exactly why I said "An inexpensive kit is the next best option" in my earlier post.
Going through the time & trouble to fabricate a fastener, just so you have one in case you lose the original, seems excessive to me.
I need some long ones for an idea I am working on which is the reason for my interest. My expenditure so far = zero... Or perhaps .99 cents

Slotted flat head bolt with tension pen brazed into slot. In bulk, tension pins are dirt cheap.
