The screw features a black oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance and a swivel pad tip that pivots up to 20 degrees to conform to angled or uneven workpiece surfaces without marring them. Overall length is 3-7\/16 inches, with a head diameter of 1-1\/4 inches and a head height of 7\/16 inches. It ships without a shoulder, making it suitable for direct thread engagement into tapped holes. This part is typically installed by machinists, toolmakers, and mechanical assemblers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis thumb screw is used in manual clamping fixtures, jigs, dies, and machine tool setups where repeated hand adjustment is required. The swivel pad tip is particularly useful in applications where the clamping surface is not perpendicular to the screw axis, distributing load evenly and protecting finished surfaces. It is suited to light-to-medium duty workholding in both production and maintenance environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped fixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKnurled head allows secure hand tightening without tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSwivel pad tip pivots up to 20 degrees to seat on non-perpendicular surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo-shoulder design for direct engagement into tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction throughout, including the swivel tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement or upgrade thumb screw for fixtures, jigs, and manual clamping assemblies using 3\/8-16 UNC tapped holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThread engagement should be confirmed against the depth of the tapped hole before applying clamping load. Hand-tighten only — do not use a wrench or driver on the knurled head, as this can strip the thread or damage the head profile. Inspect the swivel pad tip for free rotation before installation to ensure proper surface contact. No special tools or codes are required for installation of this fastener type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Knurled\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShoulder Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Without Shoulder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Swivel Pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Swivel Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-7\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.22 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31344SG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51704783536434,"sku":"31344SG","price":67.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/950e008c8bcb231e48b9a9db03ceaa2b_39a9b7c6-c86a-45c3-b929-b084a1407598.jpg?v=1788424983","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-31344sg-steel-thumb-screw-3-8-16-knurled","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
