Abstract: A fixture is provided for holding a part for a machining operation. The fixture includes a base assembly and a locator assembly. The part is placed in the base assembly and held by floating supports and spring clamps that permit a small amount of adjustment of the part in the base assembly. The locator assembly is then moved into its engaged position with the base assembly to fix the part into its machining position by adjusting the part relative to the floating supports and spring clamps. A mechanism on the base assembly is then used to fix the floating supports to hold the part in the machining position. Finally, the locator assembly is rotated into the disengaged position and the part can be machined as necessary.
