When you make T-nuts it's a good idea to NOT tap them clear through, I don't know if you did. Good for you if you didn't.
The reason is that if the stud goes through and bottoms out in the T-slot, too much torque on it can force the T-nut up and blow right through the machine or other device's T-slot. I have a few T-nuts that are homemade (not by me) but haven't had that problem, but having seen it I'm thinking I may be just lucky.
