Value Collection 10018 Steel T-slot Bolt 3/8-16 Uncoated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 10018 is a steel T-slot bolt designed for use in T-slotted fixtures, machine tables, and workholding setups commonly found in machining and fabrication environments. This bolt features a 3/8-16 UNC thread with a 1.5-inch thread length and a head width of 11/16 inches that slides and locks into 3/8-inch T-slots. The head height is 3/16 inches and the length under the head measures 3 inches. Made from C-1045 steel at material Grade 5 with an uncoated finish, it provides solid mechanical performance in standard shop and industrial applications. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and fabricators are the primary installers of this fastener type.

This T-slot bolt is suited for securing workpieces, fixtures, jigs, and clamping hardware to T-slotted machine tables and milling machine beds. It is commonly used in manual and CNC machining setups where a 3/8-inch T-slot is present. The 3/8-16 UNC thread class 3 fit makes it compatible with standard hex nuts, flanged nuts, and T-slot clamping hardware used across general machining and industrial assembly applications. Sold individually as a single-piece package.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit fastener for machine tables, milling fixtures, and workholding setups with a 3/8-inch T-slot and 3/8-16 UNC threaded hardware.

Installation Notes

Install by sliding the bolt head into the T-slot from the end of the channel or through an access point, then positioning and threading the mating nut by hand before final tightening. Ensure the machine table or fixture is secured and not under load before adjusting or repositioning any T-slot hardware. Use appropriate torque wrenches and follow the fixture or machine manufacturer guidelines for clamping load. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the T-slot channel or clamping system.
