Value Collection 80026 T-slot Bolt 1-8 Unc Uncoated Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 80026 is a steel T-slot bolt designed for securing workpieces and fixtures to T-slotted machine tables, jigs, and tooling plates. It features a 1-8 UNC thread with a 3-inch thread length and is sized for a 1-inch slot width. The bolt is manufactured from Grade C-1045 steel and left uncoated, making it well-suited for general shop use in machining and fabrication environments. The wide, low-profile head seats into the T-slot channel to distribute clamping force evenly. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians install this type of hardware when setting up workholding on milling machines, surface grinders, and similar equipment.

This T-slot bolt is intended for use with 1-inch wide T-slot channels found on standard machine tables and fixture plates in both production and job-shop settings. The 8-inch length under head accommodates a range of clamping setups, from thin parallels to taller fixture blocks. It is sold individually, making it a practical replacement or single-position addition when a specific quantity is needed rather than a full kit.

Key Features

• 1-8 UNC thread standard with Class 3 thread fit for consistent engagement
• 3-inch thread length provides adequate engagement depth for standard T-slot nuts and clamp studs
• 1-inch slot width compatibility fits common machine table T-slot channels
• 8-inch length under head supports a wide range of fixture and clamping heights
• Grade C-1045 steel construction delivers reliable tensile strength for workholding applications
• Uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect dimensional tolerances in precision setups

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1-inch wide T-slot channels on machine tables, fixture plates, and tooling systems that accept 1-8 UNC T-slot hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolmakers during workholding setup. Always de-energize and lock out the machine before repositioning or replacing T-slot hardware. Insert the bolt head into the T-slot channel and slide it into position before threading on the T-nut or clamp. Verify the head is fully seated in the slot and the clamping assembly is snug before returning the machine to operation.
