ELIJAH TOOLING ELT-T-M12X1.75-16-101 T Slot Fastener
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS & WARRANTY
Your Elijah Tooling, Inc. T-Slot fastener has been manufactured to provide low cost, high value performance combined with ease of use. This fastener is a patent-pending product, ideal for connecting two materials or objects together in the context of a T-Slot fixture. Simply slide your fastener down the slot to where you wish to attach a part or tooling (or really anything with the proper thread) and bias the stud up to achieve superior workholding capability. T-Slot fastener features finishes that improve appearance and reduce rust as well as providing closely held tolerances on threads and internal dimensions to insure that it meets your exacting expectations. Use of the O-Ring is optional. Quickly slide your finger or tool along the slot in the base to remove the O-Ring. With the O-Ring, the fastener “drags” along the T-Slot. Without the O-Ring, “sling” the fastener down the slot. Your choice!

Cross-Sectional View of Universal T-Slot- Fixture/ Application
Usage of the T-Slot fastener is quite simple. Slide the fastener into place
and, placing your hex wrench through the receiving side, bias the stud into
the piece to be held. Torque as shown below.
Prepare the “receiving” side to accept the stud threads:
Tap Drill 10 mm diameter thru. C’sink 12.7mm dia. x 45 degrees. Tap M12x1.75,
11.5mm deep.
For better resistance against vibration, use a Spiralock® tap. Once the
“receiving” side has been prepped, place the “receiving” side M12x1.75 tapped
hole directly above the T-Slot fastener. Reach through the M12x1.75 hole with
your M6 hex head wrench until contacting the hex head broach in the stud.
Start turning counter-clockwise lifting your hex head wrench at the same time.
The stud will proceed into the M12x1.75 tapped hole. Tighten until the stud is
fully engaged (approximately 10mm into the “receiving” side) at 47 Nm. Use a
feeler gauge to insure that the “receiving” side material is pulled down
properly.
