Gibraltar 30409G Clamp Strap 5/8 Inch Stud Tapered Nose Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 30409G is a steel clamp strap designed to secure workpieces on milling machines, drill presses, and similar machining setups. It features a tapered nose profile and a plain heel, with a 6-inch overall length and a 5/8-inch stud size. The slot provides 1-15/16 inches of travel, allowing for flexible positioning across a range of workholding applications. Manufactured from 1018 steel with a black finish, this strap delivers the structural rigidity and corrosion resistance expected in production and maintenance machining environments. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance mechanics are the primary installers.

The 30409G is suited for use in machine shops, industrial maintenance facilities, and toolroom environments where consistent clamping force and repeatable setup are required. Its 1-1/2-inch width and 7/8-inch height make it compatible with standard T-slot table setups. The non-serrated, non-tapped design simplifies setup and reduces prep time when clamping flat or parallel workpiece surfaces. It is appropriate for both production runs and one-off setups on vertical mills and drill press tables.

Key Features

• Tapered nose profile for concentrated clamping force at the workpiece edge
• 1-15/16 inches of slot travel for flexible stud positioning
• 1018 steel construction for strength and durability in machining environments
• Black finish provides basic corrosion resistance
• Plain heel and non-serrated contact surfaces for use on finished workpieces
• Non-tapped design compatible with standard T-slot hardware and 5/8-inch studs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style workholding clamp strap for use with standard 5/8-inch T-slot studs on milling machine tables, drill press tables, and similar fixturing setups.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians using standard T-slot hardware including a 5/8-inch stud, step block, nut, and washer. Always power down and lock out the machine before adjusting or repositioning clamp straps on the table. Position the step block as close to the workpiece as possible to maximize clamping force and minimize strap deflection. Torque the stud nut firmly but do not exceed the hardware rating for the stud diameter in use.
