  • Patent number: 7568683
    Abstract: A fixture plate for use with a CNC milling machine. The fixture plate is constructed of a generally rectangular block having a top surface, a bottom surface and a forward edge. The bottom surface of the block is positioned to rest on the support surface with the forward edge of the block resting against the fixed jaw. The bottom surface of the block includes a cavity in which is mounted a clamping pin for coupling with the vise hook nut. When the machine screw is manipulated to move the mounting block toward the fixed jaw, the block is clamped to the vise between the fixed jaw and the vise hook nut. The top surface of the block is provided with grooves shaped to conform to the peripheral shape of each of the multiple workpieces. Clamping nuts, recessed in the grooves, are used for clamping the multiple workpieces to the block.
