Gibraltar 75283317 Jig Foot 3/8-16 Thread Black Oxide

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 75283317 is a jig foot designed for use in workholding, fixturing, and tooling applications where a stable, adjustable contact point is required. Constructed from low carbon steel with a black oxide finish, this foot provides corrosion resistance and a clean surface for shop-floor use. It features a 3/8-16 threaded shank and measures 7/8 inch in outer diameter and 3/4 inch in height. A cap screw is included. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders install this type of component when building jigs, fixtures, or other precision workholding assemblies.

This jig foot is suited for light industrial and precision machining environments where repeatable part positioning is critical. It threads directly into a tapped hole on a jig plate or fixture body, allowing height adjustment and firm seating against a workpiece or surface. The black oxide finish reduces light reflection in inspection setups and offers mild surface protection in controlled shop environments. Typical applications include drill jigs, assembly fixtures, and inspection plates used in job shops and manufacturing facilities.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 threaded shank for direct installation into standard tapped fixture holes
• 7/8 inch outer diameter provides a broad, stable contact surface
• 3/4 inch height suits compact fixturing layouts
• Low carbon steel construction offers durability in workholding applications
• Black oxide finish reduces glare and provides mild corrosion resistance
• Cap screw included for secure locking after height adjustment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jig foot for use in shop-built fixtures, drill jigs, and tooling plates that accept a 3/8-16 threaded insert or tapped hole.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or machinist-level tradespeople during fixture assembly or maintenance. Thread the jig foot into a properly tapped 3/8-16 hole and adjust to the required height before tightening the included cap screw to lock position. Ensure the mating tapped hole has clean threads free of chips or debris before installation. Follow your shop safety procedures and de-energize any associated clamping or automation equipment before servicing fixtures.
