    Capacity

    For when handcrafted artistry matters. These tables position your work with exact alignment on the X- and Y-axes. Unlike CNC machines, they don’t need programming, so they’re great for one-off parts and quick prototypes. They’re precision ground to ensure accurate cuts every time.
    These tables mount on your milling machine or drill press. The thick handles give you a firm grip for smooth turning of the steel hand wheels. As the table slides on its axes, an adjustable steel gib minimizes sticking and slipping. Tighten the lock nuts to keep the table steady as you machine.
    Tilting Table—Cut your work from any angle. In addition to the same features as the Standard-Table 50 lb. Load Capacity table, these also position your work at any angle between 0° and 90°. Tighten the hex bolts on the side plates to keep the table at your desired tilt.
    50 lb. Load Capacity—Double the T-slots for twice as many fixturing possibilities. The four T-slots give you the space to make elaborate fixture setups or hold your work from multiple sides. Cut with trapezoid-shaped Acme threads, the internal X-Y screws minimize backlash and won't deform. Balanced to prevent unintentional movement, the crank handles take less effort to turn than hand wheels. With bulbous grips, these handles fit comfortably in your palm.
    150 lb. Load Capacity—The highest weight capacity of any table we offer. The wide base keeps the table stable when machining your heaviest work. They’re long enough that workpieces won’t hang off the edge and become unbalanced. With X-axis hand wheels on both ends of the table, you can adjust them no matter where you’re standing.

    Heavy Duty Table

    Turn workpieces 360° for precise alignment during milling, drilling, and grinding. With finely ground worm gears, these tables give you fine control of your workpiece’s alignment to fractions of a degree. The gears also keep the tabletop from moving once your workpiece is in position, even if you bump it or press against it while you machine. Markings on the handle’s dial and the tabletop’s edge tell you how far you’ve moved, so you don’t overshoot your mark. The tabletop and base are ground so flat their surfaces vary less than the thickness of a single sheet of copy paper, so they give you the flattest and squarest possible surface for accurate work. The base also has both keyways and bolt slots to mount these tables in both vertical and horizontal orientations.
    Heavy Duty Table—These tables move in smaller increments for finer control than our standard rotary tables. They’re also machined three times flatter, virtually eliminating uneven positioning. Once the table is in position, dual locks prevent even the slightest table rotation. Hardened and oil-immersed gears extend their life, especially in high-demand machining.
    Gear Ratio—Gear ratio describes how far the table rotates with every turn of the handle. For example, a 90:1 gear ratio means a 90° turn of the handle rotates the table 1°.
    Tailstocks—Support long workpieces to improve stability during indexing and machining.

    Tilting Table

    These tables do it all. They rotate 360° and slide on the X-Y axes to position your work with exact alignment. Cut with trapezoid-shaped Acme threads, the internal X-Y screws minimize backlash and won’t deform. They’re precision ground to ensure accurate cuts every time.
    Mount these tables on your milling machine, drill press, or grinder. They reduce the height of your setup by over 30% compared to stacking rotary and milling tables. Balanced to prevent unintentional movement, the crank handles take less effort to turn than hand wheels. With bulbous grips, these handles fit comfortably in your palm. Graduations engraved on the bases of the handle and table help you line up your work in fractions of a degree. Tighten the locking clamp on the side of the table base to keep the table steady as you machine.
    Tilting Table—The most versatile tables we offer. They also tilt in 1° increments to any angle between 0° and 90°, so you can machine parts from any direction. Tighten the hex bolts on the side plates to keep the table at your desired tilt.
    Gear Ratio—Gear ratio describes how far the table rotates with every turn of the handle. For example, a 90:1 gear ratio means a 90° turn of the handle rotates the table 1°.

    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.

    Grid columns have industry-standard hole patterns. The holes are lined with a precision bushing and a threaded insert to help locate fasteners, so you can clamp parts accurately and securely. Both are hardened to resist wear. These columns also come with a plastic chip plug for each hole—plug unused holes to keep debris from clogging them or causing damage.

    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.
