Name that bolt please

[David Ragan]

Anyone know what the name of this bolt is?

It came from Jessem, on a jig, and i'd like to have some longer ones (it has little nib on head to prevent spinning).

There is no inset in head to turn it-no hex, etc.

Already called Jessem; the guy I waited forever to talk w didn't have any longer ones, or know where I can get more.

Unable to ID w Google Images-w search terms 'bugle head bolt' etc

Any help is appreciated before I ask my machine shop guy to work his magic on long bolts I already have.

Is that from a Jessem feather board set? I have two sizes of those that came with my Jessem ParaLign feather boards. How long are the ones you have? I am sure that is a special bolt made for Jessem as I have never seen then except what came with my feather boards.

Do a search on oval head machine screw. I think a phillips head would work thought that might be considered a stud of sorts.

I wonder if you could email that pic to McMaster Carr? They have nearly everything.

[Dennis McCullen]

My first thought too, Ken. I worked in food processing, therefore stainless steel everywhere and this shape bolt was common. If not the exact shape, very close to it but I don't remember nibs under the head to help hold it in place.

Looks to me that the bevel on the head is a greater angle than typical bolts. Is that the part that causes the widening of the feather board to fix it in place? You might carefully experiment with other bolts with beveled heads that don't exactly match the angle.

Have you tried 'flat head bolt', or 'flat socket cap screw'? Do you need interchangeability between the existing and any new, longer bolt?

It seems you don't need the 'socket' feature of a flat socket cap screw, but it might get you 90% of the way there. I suspect the taper on the underside of your bolt might be different, so you would probably need to hit the hole with the proper countersink to get a good fit.

Rockler uses a similar bolt on their miter bar clamps for feather boards. They use two different lengths depending upon whether it's a single or double height feather board. If you order double height feather board, you get two bolts with it. I'll try to get in shop tomorrow and measure them. You can take a flat head bolt with straight slot (not Phillips) and epoxy a short section of nail in the slot to keep it from spinning.

Go to your local fastener wholeseller, will call desk. Plop the bolt down and ask what it is and if they have a longer version. They will be happy to talk.

I’d like to know too. I have some Bench Dog featherboards with the same type of bolt. I as well would like longer ones, for stacking multiples together for a taller featherboard.

[Jim Becker]

I don't know what they are named, but the way the heads are tapered plays into how they expand the bar in the slot to make it get tight to the slot it's in.

Looks kind of like an elevator bolt to me.

Try search for a 'key locking plov bolt', definitely not an elevator bolt, the head is quite different. These are probably too thick, but gives you an idea.
