Te-co 40102 Steel Step Block 2 Piece Height Adjustment

Product Description

The TE-CO 40102 is a 2-piece steel step block designed for use with serrated end clamps in workholding and fixturing applications. It provides a height adjustment range of 3/4 to 1-5/8 inches, making it a versatile component for securing workpieces at varying elevations on milling machines, drill presses, and similar machine tool setups. The block measures 1 inch in width with a base depth of 1-1/16 inches and a nominal height of 11/16 inches. Step depth is 1/16 inches and step elevation is 1/8 inches per step. Machinists and tool and die technicians install this part as a standard element of manual workholding configurations.

This step block is suited for use in machine shop environments where workpieces need to be elevated and stabilized against serrated end clamps. The 2-piece design allows incremental height stacking to match varying workpiece thicknesses. It is a practical component for general-purpose clamping setups on manual mills, drill press tables, and surface grinders. Both production shops and tool rooms use step blocks of this type as part of standard T-slot clamping kits.

Installation Notes

Step blocks are installed by machinists as part of a T-slot clamping assembly alongside step clamps, studs, and nuts. Before adjusting or repositioning any workholding components, ensure the machine is powered down and the spindle is at rest. Use appropriate torque on clamping hardware per the machine tool or fixture manufacturer guidelines. Inspect the block and mating clamp surfaces for damage or debris before each use to maintain secure workholding.
