Value Collection 60028 Steel T-slot Bolt 7/8-9 Uncoated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 60028 is a steel T-slot bolt designed for securing workpieces and fixtures to T-slotted tables, machine tool beds, and clamping systems. It features a 7/8-9 UNC thread with a 2.5-inch thread length and fits a 7/8-inch slot width. The bolt is manufactured from C-1045 grade steel and left uncoated, making it a straightforward, durable fastener for industrial clamping applications. At 2.5 pounds, it carries the mass expected of a heavy-duty bolt in this thread class. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance professionals install this type of hardware on milling machines, surface plates, and fixture setups requiring reliable clamping force.

This T-slot bolt is suited for industrial machine shop environments where workholding on T-slotted surfaces is required. Typical applications include milling machine tables, drill press tables, horizontal boring fixtures, and modular clamping systems. The 10-inch length under head provides clearance for deep T-slot channels and thicker clamping assemblies. The 1.5-inch head width and 9/16-inch head height are sized to seat securely within standard 7/8-inch T-slots without rocking or walking under load.

Key Features

• 7/8-9 UNC Class 3 thread for tight-tolerance clamping engagement
• 2.5-inch thread length accommodates standard strap clamp and nut combinations
• 10-inch length under head suits deep T-slot channels and heavy fixture stacks
• 7/8-inch slot width fits common machine tool T-slot dimensions
• C-1045 steel construction provides strength appropriate for mechanical clamping loads
• Uncoated finish - no coating buildup that could affect slot fit or dimensional tolerance

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 7/8-inch T-slot channels found on milling machine tables, drill press tables, and similar industrial workholding fixtures that accept 7/8-9 UNC T-slot bolts.

Installation Notes

T-slot bolts are installed by a machinist or toolroom technician as part of a workholding or fixture assembly. Always verify that the slot width and thread size match the mating T-nut or clamping hardware before installation. Tighten with a standard hex wrench or socket to the torque specification called out by the fixture or machine manufacturer. Inspect the T-slot channel for burrs or debris that could prevent the bolt head from seating flush before applying clamping load.
