These items were made on my Millrite Mill. The step blocks and clamps were made for a provious project, but are perfect for the Max.
This fixture plate consists of a 4 X 7 matrix of drilled and tapped 1/4-20 holes. (A Tapmatic would have been nice). There are 4 countersunk boles for the socket head flat screws to secure it to the T-nuts on the table. The three keying posts along the center line provide very accurate positioning.
The step blocks can be positioned either way, to provide slightly different height variations. The two different size clamps are useful for different size clamping requirements.
This fixture was developed for making the cam as well as the Governor Arms for the Red Wing engine. The extra piece on the left (upside down) shows how the top plate aligns. The top plate is secured with countersunk Socket Head Cap Screws that screw into the base. The base plate secures by flat socket head screws into the T-Nuts, and uses two alignment posts like the tapped plate. Various top plates can be used for different parts. The brass nut on the bottom left is a connecting point for the probe wire, used when zeroing the X and Y axis.
A bunch of home made T-Nuts. They were made on the Horizontal mill. The two outside notches were milled simultaneously using two cutters. They were then drilled, tapped,. and sawed to length.
