Fixture Set specs
Setup notes and briefing numbers for Fixture Set.
Fixture Set dimensions and clamp range
The Fixture Set specs page lists the details for this workholding package in a single place. Use it to see whether the setup suits the parts, materials, and repeatability you need from your CNC bench.
Check how the Fixture Set fits the parts you intend to hold on a desktop CNC bench. Jaw travel, mounting footprint, fastener sizes, and usable clamping area matter before you cut aluminium, plastics, hardwood, or MDF. South African workshops also need to think about dust, coastal corrosion, and power interruptions when a setup must go back in the same position.
Read the setup notes before bolting anything to the table. The briefing numbers are there to help you repeat a fixture position after cleaning the bed, changing a spoilboard, or stripping the machine for transport. That makes a difference when small parts need the same zero point over more than one run.
What to verify
The specs bring the main workholding details into one place so you can compare them with your stock size and machining method. Check clearance around the cutter path, confirm whether edge access is enough for the tool, and note any height limits under the spindle. A neat list of figures is more useful than guessing from photos when the bench is already busy.
Cross check Fixture Set specs with the matching machine layout before ordering extra hardware or planning a new jig plate. Bellville collections and courier packing both go more smoothly when bolt pattern and accessory choice are confirmed first.

Workshop conditions that affect holding
A fixture that behaves well in a dry inland shop may need more frequent cleaning near the coast. Fine MDF dust packs into slots, aluminium chips can lift a part if they sit under the work, and reused fasteners should be checked for thread wear before another tightening cycle. If your bench has been modified, measure the actual mounting surface rather than relying on an older machine drawing.
Power cuts change how many makers plan a longer machining session, especially when a fixture must stay aligned between stops. It helps to mark datum positions, keep the mounting face free of swarf, and store loose clamping pieces together after a teardown. On a small CNC bench, those habits do more for repeatability than adding another clever accessory.

Checks before using briefing numbers
Confirm the workpiece size, material, and expected cutter access before you rely on the listed setup figures. Add photos of the current table and note anything that has interfered with clamps, screws, or spindle clearance in past jobs.
Keep the Fixture Set specs with the project record when a part needs to be remade later. They are most useful alongside the cutter list, zero reference, and material notes from the run that actually worked.
