Cap screw drawbar, 3/8-16 x 5 , hex head, hardened grade 8

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

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.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Charlotte Z. ★★★★★

Swapped out the rusty one on my 7x12 and this grade 8 drawbar threads in smooth as butter. The 3/8-16 threads bite cleanly and the 5 inch length is plenty to seat the collet without fighting it.

Thomas Z. ★★★★★

The hex head on this drawbar fits my wrench perfectly, making installation a breeze. It's exactly the right length for my 7x10 mini lathe, and the hardened steel gives me confidence it'll hold up.

George I. ★★★★★

Bought this for my 7x12 and the 5" length gives plenty of thread engagement in the 3MT spindle. Grade 8 steel feels noticeably stiffer than the soft bolt I was using before, no flex when I snug it down.
