T‑slot nut 3446I — compact 1‑1/16" insert with 3/4‑10 thread (Vertex)

T‑slot nut 3446I is a compact clamping insert for machine tables and profile systems, designed to secure fixtures in a 1‑1/16" T‑slot while accepting a 3/4‑10 threaded fastener.

• Precision fit for 1‑1/16" T‑slots
• 3/4‑10 threaded fastening
• Compact dimensions 1‑5/8 x 2 x 1‑1/2"

Consistent clamping performance for production environments

The T‑slot nut is engineered to provide a reliable mechanical interface between a threaded fastener and the machine table or profile. With a designated 1‑1/16" slot size and a 3/4‑10 thread, this insert simplifies fixture assembly and reduces the time spent aligning clamps and bolts. The standardised thread ensures compatibility with common clamping hardware, while the accurate external geometry supports repeatable positioning. Such predictability preserves cycle times and contributes to a smoother production flow in workshop and industrial settings.

Space-saving design that integrates easily into existing setups

Compact dimensions of 1‑5/8 x 2 x 1‑1/2" and a low weight (0.23 kg) make the component suitable for confined fixture arrangements where clearance is limited. The short profile allows the insert to sit flush in the slot, reducing interference with tooling or workpieces. Because the element is made to industry norms, retrofitting into existing tables and modular frames is straightforward; the compact footprint often enables denser clamping layouts without sacrificing accessibility for adjustments or torqueing.

Practical guidance and explanation for non-specialists

For those less familiar with clamping technology: a T‑slot nut converts the T‑slot channel into a secure anchor point for bolts and threaded studs. The combination of a precisely matched slot width (1‑1/16") and a matched internal thread (3/4‑10) prevents lateral play and distributes clamping forces effectively. When selecting a fastener, ensure the bolt length and head style are appropriate for the intended clamp and that tightening torque is applied within recommended limits for the clamping assembly to avoid overloading smaller components.

Typical applications and integration notes

The insert is well suited to jigs, fixtures, milling tables and assembly benches where a compact, standardised anchoring point is required. Its specification supports repeatable setups in batch production and flexible fixturing in maintenance or prototyping environments. Where material data is required for specific corrosion or temperature considerations, refer to the component documentation; mechanical compatibility with the stated slot and thread sizes remains the primary determinant of fit and function for most installations.
