    Fixture Plate Plugs

    Fill unused holes on fixture plates and columns to keep chips and shavings from clogging or damaging them. These plugs are easy to install and remove, so you can switch them to a different hole when you need to change setups.

    Install screw-in plugs into threaded holes with a screwdriver. They have a slotted drive that resists chip buildup.
    Black-Oxide Steel—Black-oxide steel plugs are the most durable, so they’re good for repeated use in demanding applications. The black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance.
    Aluminum—Aluminum plugs are more corrosion resistant than steel plugs—they’re also gentler on steel threads.
    Plastic—Plastic plugs are lightweight and economical.

    Push-in plugs slide into unthreaded holes with finger pressure. They’re hollow, but they come with a spring-loaded cap to keep debris from collecting inside the plug. Remove these plugs by twisting a dowel pin removal tool into their internal threads. Made from brass, they’re nonmarring, so they won’t damage the surface of fixture bushings.
