About Aluminum

Easy-to-Machine Cast Aluminum for Tool and Jig Plates

Made of 5083 aluminum, these cast tool and jig plates are more corrosion resistant and respond better to anodizing than MIC6. This material is comparable to Alca 5 and ATP 5.

Easy-to-Machine MIC6 Cast Aluminum Sheets and Bars

MIC6 is cast from a high-strength 7000-series aluminum, then stress relieved to maintain dimensional stability during high-speed machining.

Easy-to-Machine MIC6 Cast Aluminum Discs

MIC6 is cast from a high-strength 7000-series aluminum, then stress relieved to maintain dimensional stability during high-speed machining.

Clamping and Workholding

T-Slot Fixture Plates

These plates have three T-slots for use with T-slot nuts, bolts, and setup studs.

T-Slot Blocks

Mount these versatile blocks to any flat surface for machine table-style T-slot clamping. They can also be used on a machine table to clamp parts at specific angles or add more total clamping points.

Inspection and Measuring Fixturing

Use these components in coordinate measuring machine (CMM) applications to raise a workpiece and reliably position it on a fixture plate with ¼"-20 holes.

Vacuum Workholding Plates

Also known as vacuum chucks, these plates secure thin and flexible parts that can’t be held with vises or clamps for milling, drilling, routing, and finishing operations. Connect the system to your shop’s compressed air supply and it's ready to use.

T-Slot Covers

Prevent chips, debris, and small parts from falling into T-slots.
