Te-co 20214 50-piece Step Block Clamp Set 5/8-11 Stud

Product Description

The TE-CO 20214 is a 50-piece fixturing step block and clamp set designed for workholding applications on milling machines, drill presses, and machining centers. The set includes step blocks, clamps, studs, nuts, and related hardware to secure workpieces directly to T-slotted machine tables. Key specs include a 1-1/2 inch step block width, an 11/16 inch T-slot size, and a 5/8-11 stud thread. Nut width is 1-1/8 inches. Stud lengths range from 3 inches through 8 inches, covering a wide variety of clamping heights. All components are steel construction. At 41 pounds, this is a complete, shop-ready kit suitable for production and toolroom environments.

This set is used in machine shops, tool rooms, and production facilities where workpieces must be clamped flat to a T-slotted table for milling, boring, or drilling operations. The variety of stud lengths - 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 inches - allows the technician to build up clamping assemblies at multiple heights to accommodate uneven or stepped workpieces. The 11/16 inch T-slot size fits common milling machine and machining center tables. Machinists, tool and die makers, and general machine operators are the primary users of this type of workholding kit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel familiar with workholding practice. Before securing a workpiece, confirm the machine table is clean and the T-slots are free of chips and debris. Assemble step blocks and clamps to the appropriate stud length for the workpiece height, ensuring the clamp bears down on the workpiece rather than the step block. Never overtighten studs beyond the rated capacity of the hardware, and verify all clamp assemblies are fully engaged before initiating a machining operation.
