Fixture plate - my way.

🎬 Fifty Years Without a Fixture Plate – Until Now! 🛠️

After half a century of toolmaking without ever needing a fixture plate (yes, you heard that right), I’ve finally decided to join the 21st century... or at least the late 20th.

Why now? Well, after years of MacGyvering setups with chunks of scrap aluminium and suspiciously convenient rectangular hollow sections, I thought, “Why not make something that actually makes sense?” So I designed a fixture plate that’s basically the Swiss Army knife of workholding – minus the corkscrew and the tiny useless scissors.

💡 We’ve got magnetic chucks that practically tram themselves (sorcery), pneumatic setups clamping 51 parts at once (because why not), and a fixture plate with more precision features than a Swiss watch strapped to a CNC machine.

✨ Want dual-purpose holes with steel threaded inserts and hardened bushings? You got it.
✨ Want built-in sine bar capabilities? Of course.

Oh, and it’s hard anodized aluminium, because even fixture plates deserve a glow-up.

If you’re into clever machining hacks, efficient setups, and the occasional dry sarcasm forged in fifty years of chip-making, this one’s for you. Watch me build the fixture plate I never thought I’d need — but now can’t imagine living without.
