CMM Fixture Plates

[PaulB]

I am presently using a grid style fixture plate with 5/16-18 threaded holes in it. I was looking to order more clamps and posts for it from TE-CO and have only been able to find 1/4-20 accessories. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Rayco connection

Rayco plates have a good fixturing set up with different size risers and magnetic top for the risers. There thread size is 1/4-20" But that is not the size you are looking for..

Sounds to me like you need one of those sets and a few of these. This one is 5/16-18 X 1/4-28 though. I also don't know where you could get these but they'd be pretty easy for any machine shop to make.

thaqnks for the help. I decided to stay with the times and make a new plate with 1/4-20 threaded hole.

You could always try one of these. I think I saw them on sale @ Toys'R'Us in last Sunday's ads...

I'm just curious, did you make universal pegs in house to use for attribute checks or was that something you had to purchase outside?

In house, me and a pocket knife. If it doesn't fit now it will in a minute

Ever wonder what the side of that box says? "Increase you child's hammering skills! They will thank you when they're older!"

I'm supprised they can still sell those things. I would have thought by now some kid would have whacked the he77 out of a thumb and the parents would have sued. Maybe a class action?

They might not actually. I just ran across the picture while looking for images on Google.
