    Grid Fixture Plates for Welding

    Build fixturing setups for welding onto these plates. They have 5/8” unthreaded holes with 2” center-to-center spacing, so they’re compatible with clamps, stops, V-blocks, and other components. Made from nitrided steel, they have a hardened surface that resists wear, prevents corrosion, and keeps weld spatter from sticking. They’re easy to maintain and they hold their shape over time. To add resistance to heat and spatter, apply welding antispatter to all the components in your setup.

    Accessories for Grid Fixture Plates

    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.
