How We Manufacture Reliable T-Nuts — A Behind-the-Scenes Look
T-Nuts may be small, but they play a critical role in fastening systems for furniture, woodworking, industrial machines, and even automotive structures. At XINCHI, we focus on manufacturing M6 and M8 Hopper Feed T-Nuts, designed for consistent performance and easy assembly.
As a professional t nut manufacturer, We are happy to share the T-nut manufacturing process step by step.
The T-Nut Manufacturing Process
1. Raw Material Preparation
We start with premium low-carbon steel or stainless steel, processed in coils. The material is degreased and cleaned before entering the production line.
2. Stamping and Forming
High-speed progressive stamping machines shape the T-Nuts. During this phase, we cut the overall shape, punch the central hole, and form the prongs in one streamlined process.
3. Thread Tapping
Automatic tapping machines create precision internal threads — most commonly M6 or M8 — ensuring a tight fit with corresponding bolts or screws.
4. Heat Treatment (If Required)
For certain applications, we perform heat treatment such as tempering or carburizing to increase strength and durability.
5. Surface Finishing
To prevent corrosion and enhance appearance, we offer:
Zinc plating (white, yellow, or black)
Dacromet for high salt spray resistance
Nickel plating and other custom finishes
6. Inspection & Packaging
Every batch undergoes strict quality checks. To ensure consistency, we use automated sorting and counting systems and provide custom packaging with labeling as requested.

- Flat-pack and knock-down furniture
