Fixture Kit specs
Setup notes and briefing numbers for Fixture Kit.
Fixture Kit contents and sizes
The Fixture Kit includes the listed contents, fit details, and the setup points to confirm before use. Check it against your table layout and the type of workpieces you need to secure.
The Fixture Kit specs set out the clamp count, stud lengths, washer sizes, and the table slot fit to verify before anything is mounted. Check the thread type against your hold-down hardware and confirm whether you are working on MDF spoilboard, aluminium plate, or a vacuum-backed bed. On mixed-material jobs, that detail matters more than the fixture name on the packet.
Before first use, lay out every piece and compare it with the listed quantities. Look for burrs on step blocks, thread damage on studs, and clamp faces that could mark soft sheet stock. A quick bench check saves time once the spindle is warm and the sheet is on the table.
Workholding checks before setup
Use the listed dimensions to match clamp reach, stack height, and clearance around the cutter path. Low-profile positions are usually best where the tool passes close to the fixture line, especially on nested parts and shallow pocketing work. If the workpiece sits on packers, include that height in your setup notes.
Check these Fixture Kit specs against your table drawing before setup, with slot spacing, material thickness and the clamp reach marked on the same sketch. If the cutter needs to break past an edge, leave clearance for tool exit and chip throw instead of crowding the blank with hold-downs. For missing parts or fit questions, use the contact form and include your machine model and table layout.
- Clamp reach matched to part size
- Stud threads checked before table mounting
- Washer and nut counts listed clearly
Workshop conditions that affect fit
In Gauteng dust builds up in T-slots and under step blocks, so clean the table before checking fit or clamp height. Coastal shops need to watch for surface corrosion on stored hardware, particularly if the kit lives near open doors or unsealed shelving. Those small conditions can change how evenly the workpiece pulls down.
Power interruptions make it worth marking your clamp positions and keeping the setup numbers with the job card. If a machine is restarted after load-shedding, you can confirm the workholding points without guessing where each stud was placed. That is especially useful on repeat runs and multi-sheet batches.

Numbers to confirm on arrival
Verify the listed thread size, clamp length range, and the maximum recommended packing height before the kit goes onto the machine. Note any mismatch between the spec and your table hardware straight away.
Keep this sheet with the setup notes for the job so the same clamp arrangement can be rebuilt later. For repeat parts, record which positions cleared the cutter and which ones needed a lower stack.
