    Fixture Columns

    Clamp multiple parts or fixtures to these columns to speed up your machining process. Also known as tombstones, they have multiple faces for building dense, efficient setups. Each face is precision-machined for accurate positioning. Made from cast iron, these columns are rigid enough to limit vibration and stabilize your workpieces during machining.

    Blank columns can be customized to fit your application. Machine them with your own holes, T-slots, or other mounting surfaces.
    Square—Square columns have four equal faces for balanced machining on each side.
    Rectangle—Rectangle columns have two wide faces for larger setups and two narrow faces for smaller ones. The narrow faces can also help reduce tool interference.
    Cross—Cross columns have four equal faces, similar to square columns, but cutouts at each corner give you more tool clearance.

    Position your workpieces at the correct angle prior to welding. These squares have an extra-wide head, so you can clamp them in place.
    Joint Access Cutouts—Squares with joint access cutouts make it easier to reach joints, such as when welding and gluing.
    Leveling Tabs—Leveling tabs are for aligning workpieces with one another.
    Cast Iron—Cast iron squares are durable and difficult to dent or scratch. They resist weld spatter, but they’re more likely to corrode than aluminum.

    Single V-Block

    Shown Extended

    Support workpieces at the exact height you need for inspection, milling, or grinding. These V-blocks combine the precision of shims and blocks with the adjustability of a screw jack. They help you keep workpieces level, even when the ends are uneven. Turn a dial to move the surface of each block up or down in 0.001” increments, then lock it in place with a set screw. Made in pairs, these blocks are ground to tight tolerances for grooves that are centered and parallel with the base. They’re hardened iron for durability and dent resistance.

    V-Blocks for Magnetic Workholding

    Image of Product. Front orientation. V-Blocks. V-Blocks for Magnetic Workholding.
    Set these V-blocks onto a magnetic chuck or plate to lock metal workpieces in place—no fussing with clamps or bolts. Made of alternating layers of iron and stainless steel, these blocks conduct the magnetic field through their body and channel it straight into your workpiece. They’re often used to cradle rods, shafts, and irregularly shaped parts during grinding and inspecting. Each layer is entirely fused together with copper brazing, so you can machine these blocks without the layers separating. Compared to blocks made from aluminum or brass, these blocks are harder and more dent-resistant, so they hold their shape over time.
    Sold as Matched Pair—Matched pair blocks are ground together, so their heights, faces, and grooves are identical. When you rest your workpiece across the two blocks, they keep the centerline level.

    Stabilize long workpieces for precise machining. These tailstocks hold your workpiece by its end to keep it straight and aligned. Adjust the center height to use them with a variety of rotary tables, indexing heads, and other fixture setups. Made of cast iron, they resist vibration and wear, so they’ll hold up to heavy duty machining tasks.

    When high precision isn’t critical, choose these V-blocks to hold and position round workpieces. Made from cast iron, they’re a solid, stable choice in high vibration areas. They’re made in pairs to ensure their height, faces, and grooves match, so your workpiece sits level and parallel across both. However, they’re not machined to the same tight tolerances as steel and granite V-blocks. They’re also not as strong as steel under heavy loads, so they may deform or crack over time.
    4 Vees—V-blocks with 4 vees have different-sized grooves on each side to support a range of diameters.
