Drawbar, 3MT x 3/8"-16x5" with Washer - Mini Lathe

Drawbar, 3MT x 3/8"-16x5" with Washer - Mini Lathe - Main image
$4.28 $5.95 In stock

This is the 3/8"-16 drawbar for the 7x10 and 7x12 mini lathe with the 3 Morse Taper spindle.

This drawbar is a 3/8"-16 x 5" cap screw and a flat washer. They are both hardened for long life.

Made from Grade 8 steel, these screws can be used in high-stress applications, such as valves, pumps, motors, and automotive suspension systems. They are at least 25% stronger than medium-strength steel screws. Grade 8 steel hex head screws are marked with six radial lines. Length is measured from under the head.

Zinc-flake-coated steel screws are about five times as corrosion resistant as zinc yellow-chromate plated screws and have good resistance to salt water and acids. Also known as ultra coat and armor coat. To maintain corrosion resistance, use these screws with zinc-flake-coated nuts and washers.

Joshua N. ★★★★★

The hardened washer was a nice surprise—most drawbars come with a soft one that deforms after a few uses. Screwed it into my 7x12 spindle and it held the collet snug with zero play. Exactly the size I needed.

Kevin Y. ★★★★★

The threads on this drawbar are clean and engage smoothly with my collet chuck, and the included hardened washer is a nice touch for extra durability. For the price, it's a solid upgrade over the flimsier stock piece that came with my mini lathe.

Scarlett F. ★★★★★

The hardened cap screw holds firm even with steady chatter from heavier cuts, and the washer sits flat without cocking sideways. Exactly what my 7x12 needed to replace the sloppy stock piece, zero complaints.
