Value Collection 80020 T-slot Bolt 1-8 Unc Steel Uncoated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 80020 is a steel T-slot bolt designed for securing workpieces and fixtures in T-slot tables, machine tool beds, and modular fixturing systems. It features a 1-8 UNC thread with a 2 inch thread length and fits a 1 inch wide T-slot. The bolt is machined from C-1045 steel and left uncoated, providing a clean surface suitable for most industrial fixturing applications. The overall length under the head measures 4 inches, making it appropriate for moderate-depth clamping setups. Installation is straightforward and is typically performed by machinists, toolroom technicians, or maintenance trades familiar with machine tool fixturing.

This T-slot bolt is suited for use in milling machines, drill presses, surface grinders, welding tables, and other equipment equipped with standard 1 inch T-slots. It is commonly used in both light manufacturing and job-shop environments where workholding flexibility is required. The Class 3 thread fit ensures a snug engagement with mating nuts and clamp hardware used in T-slot fixturing assemblies. The uncoated finish keeps the surface free of added coating thickness that could affect fit in precision T-slot channels.

Key Features

• 1-8 UNC thread standard with Class 3 thread fit for reliable engagement with fixturing hardware
• 2 inch thread length provides adequate engagement depth for standard T-slot clamp nuts
• 1 inch slot width fits standard machine tool T-slot channels
• 4 inch length under head accommodates moderate clamping stack heights
• C-1045 steel construction offers solid strength for general fixturing loads
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency in precision T-slot applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard hardware component for machine tool tables and modular fixturing systems with 1 inch wide T-slots.

Installation Notes

T-slot bolts are installed by machinists or toolroom technicians as part of workholding and fixturing setups. Before installing or adjusting fixturing hardware, ensure the machine is powered down and any stored energy is released. Use appropriate torque as specified by the fixturing system manufacturer when tightening clamp nuts. Inspect the T-slot channel for debris or damage before insertion to avoid galling the bolt head or channel walls.
