Combine these setup studs with T-slot nuts, flanged nuts, setup clamps, or setup blocks to clamp and hold workpieces, vises, and other objects onto your fixturing table. Also known as double-ended studs, they have threads on both ends. One end threads into a T-slot nut or flanged nut inside the table. The other end passes through a setup clamp and secures with a nut and washer. The middle of the stud is unthreaded for gripping and adjusting the stud.

These setup studs are also used to align parts during assembly. One end of the stud is threaded into the part being added, and the other end fits into the mounting hole of the mating part. Because the studs don't have a head, you have the option to thread them into holes from either end, but they require a nut. You can adjust the distance between the mating parts by tightening and loosening the nut.

Steel studs are low- or medium-strength carbon steel. With no protective coating, they have poor corrosion resistance. Avoid using them in humid and damp environments.

Black-oxide steel studs have a protective coating that resists corrosion in dry environments.

18-8 stainless steel studs resist corrosion in humid, damp, and washdown environments, and they're nearly as strong as steel studs.

316 stainless steel studs are the most corrosion-resistant studs we offer. They resist rusting even when exposed to salt water, chlorine solutions, and other chemicals.

Some of these studs meet DIN dimensional and material standards so designers and engineers know that they're compatible with other parts and tools.
