I'm planning to mount a bench grinder and a few other things to the tool chest I just got for a steal at HD. The unit has a sheet metal top (20 or 22 ga?) and then a 3/4" bamboo top on top of the metal.
It is my desire to drill through the wood and metal, and make holes to attach fasteners. Should be straight forward. Question is what type of fastener?
I figure just a hex bolt with a washer, then just tighten down the item with a nut on the top side?
So it would be from bottom to top hex bolt, washer, sheetmetal, wood, item, nut.
Is a hex bolt the best bet? is there a good rule of thumb for diameter of the washer?
Thanks!
