How To Attach 8020 To Wood?

Use T-nuts or threaded inserts in the wood

Bolt the 8020 extrusion to the wood through the T-slot using machine screws

Use angle brackets or gusset plates for stronger corner connections

Pre-drill the wood to prevent splitting

Use washers under bolt heads and nuts to spread the load

Use lag screws or wood screws only if the load is light and the connection is non-structural

Use carriage bolts with washers and nuts for through-bolting

Add shims if needed to keep the extrusion aligned and level

Tighten fasteners evenly to avoid warping the wood

Use wood blocks or mounting plates if you need a larger contact area

Seal or finish the wood before assembly if moisture resistance is needed
