Gibraltar 75283358 Jig Foot 3/8-16 Thread Black Oxide

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 75283358 is a jig foot designed for use in fixturing, workholding, and machine setup applications. It features a 3/8-16 threaded shank, a 1.25-inch outer diameter base, and a 1.5-inch overall height. Constructed from low carbon steel with a black oxide finish, this jig foot provides a stable, adjustable contact point for positioning workpieces or supporting fixtures on machining and assembly setups. A cap screw is included. The black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in precision work environments. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders are the typical end users for this component.

This jig foot is suited for light-duty industrial fixturing and tooling applications. It is commonly used as a locating or support foot in custom jigs, fixtures, and workholding devices on manual and CNC machine tools. The 3/8-16 thread is a widely used size that fits standard jig plates and fixture bodies without special hardware. The compact footprint makes it practical for close-tolerance fixture layouts where space between support points is limited.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jig foot for use in fixturing and workholding assemblies that accept 3/8-16 threaded components. Fits standard jig plates and fixture bodies with matching 3/8-16 threaded holes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolmakers during fixture assembly or setup. Thread the jig foot into the fixture body by hand first, then tighten with appropriate tooling to the desired height position before locking in place. Ensure the mating threaded hole in the fixture plate is clean and free of debris before installation. Follow any applicable shop safety procedures when working on or near machine tools.
