That is NOT what the manufacturer says about the slot. Right in their web page it says (not an exact quote) Can be installed with a screwdriver.
So much for the Utube self styled experts.
One of the big problems I have is, this is trying to re-design an already built, big heavy Router table and the idea of using a drill press to work on the back side of it is almost hilarious.
I need to extend the table surface about 16 to 18 inches to handle some large pieces for dadoes. So was trying to add these to the back to use to attach angles on the bottom of the extension. I think I'll jut go with using through holes and live with having to put a nut on the "inside". It will mean a bit of trouble holding either the bolt head or the nut and tuning the other. May be able to "fix" the bit on the inside so it will not turn. That will be the simplest solution.
I've watched most of those videos on the subject and it appears no one has tried to do this on a large cumbersome object.
Thanks for the help.

PS Edit: I also saw an idea on one of the vids. about just using epoxy to install them and that may have worked but needing the bolt size hole to go on in a ways and keeping the inside hole clear may be difficult.
