*USED* Bead slot - Inner diameter 30.1, outer diameter 37, bead diameter 5/32"-SPCC&Q235

This used Bead Slot is a purpose-built component for metalworking setups that require a precise bead groove. With a clear, purpose-driven design, it aligns neatly with jig and fixture workflows, helping you achieve repeatable bead seating and stable workholding in your projects. The combination of material grade and exact dimensions makes it a reliable choice for retrofit work, custom fixtures, and maintenance tasks where a dedicated bead channel is needed.

Key specifications

• 
  Inner diameter (ID): 30.1 mm
• 
  Outer diameter (OD): 37 mm
• 
  Bead diameter: 5/32" (approx 3.97 mm)
• 
  Material: SPCC & Q235 steel
• 
  Condition: Used

Who this is for

• Machinists and fabricators assembling custom fixtures, jigs, or mounting systems that rely on a precise bead groove
• Shop technicians retrofitting older equipment to add a dedicated bead channel for improved alignment and clamping
• DIY enthusiasts building prototypes where a durable, pre-machined bead slot saves time and ensures consistent results

Practical applications and benefits

• Provides a stable seating path for components that use a 5/32" bead profile, enabling repeatable alignment in fixtures and assemblies
• Well-suited for retrofit projects where you need a precise groove without fabricating from scratch
• Compatible with standard below-table or machine-bed setups that accept SPCC/Q235-based parts, simplifying integration with existing tooling
• Durable steel construction from common structural grades offers dependable wear resistance in typical workshop environments

Why this bead slot stands out

Unlike generic slots, this bead slot emphasizes exact between-diameter control and a robust steel composition designed for real-world fabrication workflows. The combination of SPCC (a magnetic, cold-rolled steel) with Q235 (a widely used structural steel) delivers a balance of machinability, strength, and affordability. For projects where a dedicated bead track is essential, this part provides a reliable, ready-to-integrate solution.

Tips for installation and use

• Verify fitment with your existing components by comparing the 30.1 mm ID and 37 mm OD to the mating parts and mounting hardware
• Clean all mating surfaces before installation to avoid debris that could affect bead seating or alignment
• Inspect the bead channel for burrs or sharp edges; light deburring may improve seating reliability and reduce wear on mating parts
• Store and handle in dry conditions to guard against surface corrosion on used steel components

Care and maintenance

• Keep the slot clean from chips and dust; wipe with a dry or lightly oiled cloth after use
• Periodically inspect for any signs of excessive wear or deformation in the bead groove and surrounding shell
• When integrating into a fixture or machine, verify that mounting screws and dowel pins align correctly to preserve precise bead seating
