Vertex 3412I T‑slot nut – 3/8" slot, 5/16" thread

The 3412I is a single T‑slot nut designed to secure fixtures and workpieces in 3/8" T‑slots on machine tables and fixtures.

• Compact design fits 3/8" T-slots
• Threaded 5/16" for secure clamping
• Lightweight construction at 0.023 kg
• Precision-manufactured by Vertex

Secure clamping in confined spaces for steady production

The compact T‑slot nut is engineered for situations where space is limited but clamping reliability must not be compromised. Its 3/8" T‑slot geometry is compatible with standard machine table grooves, allowing quick positioning and repeatable fixation. The integrated 5/16" thread provides mechanical engagement with commonly used studs and bolts, translating tightening torque into consistent clamping force. For production lines and jobbing shops this means less time spent adapting fixtures and more time producing parts with stable datum references.

Fast set-up and straightforward compatibility reduce downtime

Optimised for efficient handling, the component’s modest mass and standardised dimensions make changeovers quicker and handling easier. Because the part is manufactured to tight tolerances, insertion into the slot and alignment of the thread follow predictable behaviour, which diminishes setup variation. The result is reduced machine downtime and improved cycle reproducibility when multiple clamps are used across the table. This practical compatibility supports lean workflows and easier fixture planning.

Precision manufacture for predictable results

Manufactured under Vertex quality controls, the nut benefits from consistent dimensional accuracy that supports repeatable clamping positions. When fixture repeatability is required, small deviations in the clamping element can lead to measurable errors; the precision in this component mitigates that risk. For engineers and workshop supervisors who prioritise traceable, repeatable setups, the consistency offered here simplifies calibration routines and aids quality assurance processes.

Suitable for general workshop and industrial use

A straightforward, single-item solution, the nut suits both custom jigs and standard clamping assemblies. Its lightweight nature reduces inert mass on movable fixtures, while the familiar thread size makes it compatible with widely available fasteners. Where small form factor and reliable engagement are required, this Vertex component integrates into existing tooling systems without the need for bespoke adaptors or special fasteners. The SKU 3412I provides a clear reference for ordering and stock control.
