    Pull-Out Dowel Pins

    Remove pins even when you only have access to one end or they sit flush with the surface of your part. With one internally threaded end, they are easier to remove than most dowel pins. Thread a screw into the pin and then pull with the removal tool (sold separately). You can also pull the screw with pliers, but there’s more risk of damaging the hole.

    Vented Pull-Out Dowel Pins

    Insert and remove from blind holes with less effort than pins that aren't vented. The vent relieves trapped air, so pressure doesn't create resistance as you install the pin. Because they have a tapped end, you can thread in a screw and pull the pin out with a removal tool (sold separately). You can also pull using pliers, but there’s more risk of damaging the hole.
    Flat Shaft
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Dowel Pins. Tapped Head, Pull-Out Removal, Vented, Standard Tolerance, Flat Shaft.
    The flat side of these pins creates a vent that's less likely to be blocked than a spiral shaft, but doesn’t offer quite as strong of a hold.
    Spring Steel—These pins won't deform from stress and vibration. They're stronger than stainless steel but not quite as strong as alloy steel. Pins perform best in dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments. In addition to resisting rust, these pins also withstand mild chemicals such as cleaners and degreasers. They are strong enough to join most components but won't withstand extreme stress and vibration as well as steel.

    Tighten the

    nut to draw

    the pin out of

    the hole.

    Threads on these pins stick out for easy removal from blind holes. Tighten the hex nut to draw the pin out. Often used for positioning components and securing assemblies, they taper at a uniform rate to fit in tapered holes. For a snug fit, use a tapered drill bit that matches the pin number for inch sizes or the small end diameter for metric sizes. They have slightly rounded edges to aid insertion.

    Fixturing for Parts Inspection

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Coordinate Measuring Machine Plates and Fixtures. Fixturing for Parts Inspection.
    From towers and brackets to standoffs and supports, these components are the building blocks for your custom fixturing setup. They elevate parts so you can access a variety of angles for measuring and inspecting while protecting your measuring device from hitting the inspection table. You’ll often see them used with coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). They’re not for use in machining applications.
    Kits

    Fixture towers give you four vertical grids and a small horizontal one on top, so you can set up custom scaffolds to position parts in several planes. Their height makes them useful for propping up large workpieces. Each tower can uphold multiple parts. The threaded holes on the vertical grids are labeled with letters and numbers, making it easy to identify holes.

    Flat Head

    Use these buttons to support and position workpieces and fixtures from the bottom or side. Threading makes these buttons easier to replace than press-fit, so they are a good choice for high-wear applications. They’re also known as rest buttons.
    Hex—Their hex shape lets you screw them into a threaded hole with a wrench or socket.

    Clamps for Parts Inspection

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Coordinate Measuring Machine Plates and Fixtures. Clamps for Parts Inspection.
    With a light yet sturdy hold, these clamps help you keep workpieces in place hands-free for measuring and inspecting. Thread them right into your fixturing surface, whether it’s a plate, tower, or table. Because they apply less pressure than machining clamps, they won’t distort your parts, so you can take accurate measurements. While these clamps aren’t sturdy enough for use in machining, you can still use them for light fabrication work, such as laser engraving.

    Tabs

    Hold-down clamps secure parts from the top.
    Tension Spring—Tension spring clamps are the most common type of clamp. Slide the arm down the shaft until it touches the top of your workpiece. Since you apply pressure directly, using too much force might move your part.
    Thumb Screw—Clamps with a thumb screw give you more control over the pressure you apply on a workpiece than tension spring clamps. Twisting the screw moves the clamp up or down in small increments, so they’re less likely to dent or scratch your workpiece. The knurled head on the screw is slip resistant, letting you make precise turns with reliable grip.
    Squeeze Tabs—Clamps with squeeze tabs on the back are best for supporting delicate parts. They have the lightest touch of any clamps we offer, because the tension is held in the tabs rather than the clamp itself. Press the tabs together like a clothespin and rotate the clamp where you need it.

    Side Clamps
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Coordinate Measuring Machine Plates and Fixtures. Clamps for Parts Inspection, Side Clamps.
    Side clamps don’t block access to the top of your workpiece like hold-down clamps. They push one side of your workpiece against another barrier, such as a standoff, support, or corner plate. Made of durable yet flexible plastic, the outer edge of the clamp slightly contracts when you pull the circular trigger—like drawing a bow.

    Positioning Clamps
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Coordinate Measuring Machine Plates and Fixtures. Clamps for Parts Inspection, Positioning Clamps.
    Positioning clamps give you the most flexible setup of any clamps. They’re the best choice for curved or irregular shapes, such as cylinders. Both sliding pins on each arm have an O-ring that compresses when you push them tight against a workpiece. The O-ring cushions the pressure you apply, and it also gives grip while protecting parts from scratches. With an arm that rotates 360°, you can create movable supports. These clamps also have a magnetic flange to help secure metal parts.

    Fixture Plates

    Lay the foundation for your fixturing setup. These plates have a grid with evenly spaced threaded holes to install angle brackets and other fixturing components. They’re often used to help secure workpieces for measuring and inspecting. Just like a battleship gameboard, the edges are labeled with letters and numbers, making it easy to identify holes. While these lightweight plates aren’t for machining, you can use them for light fabrication jobs, such as laser marking. All can be attached to your table with clamps (not included), making them easy to remove and swap.

    Threaded Hole Location Gauges

    Image of Product. Back orientation. Threaded Hole Location Gauges.
    Find the true center of threaded holes to precisely align and measure parts. Once you thread these gauges into a hole, their cylinder sticks out as a reliable reference point. They’re often used with a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) to pinpoint the coordinates of the cylinder’s exact center. You can then use those coordinates to measure distances between points or reference them for error-free assembly. Even without a CMM, you can use these gauges with a micrometer to measure accurate center-to-center distances.

    Quick-Change Fixture Plates

    Snap these magnetic plates in and out of the mounting rail as swappable stages for measuring and inspecting parts. Unlike standard fixture plates that you need to bolt or clamp down, these quickly attach and release, creating a hub of plates that are locked and loaded. As your coordinate measuring machine (CMM) works in the background, position your next workpiece on another plate so it’s ready to switch out for the next run. If you need more room to inspect parts, combine plates in a chain to extend your surface. While they’re not sturdy enough for use in machining, you can use them for light fabrication work, such as laser engraving.
    When docked on a rail, the strong magnets in these plates hold them still. The lightweight aluminum makes them easy to lift and swap, and an anodized coating protects them from scratches and wear, even if you’re working with heavy parts.
