Value Collection 400-3562 Step Block Clamp Set 52 Pc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 400-3562 is a 52-piece step block and clamp set designed for workholding applications on milling machines, drill presses, and machining centers equipped with T-slot tables. The set provides the hardware needed to secure workpieces or fixtures directly to a machine table without requiring additional fasteners. It is built around a 1/2-13 stud thread and fits 9/16-inch T-slots. Step blocks measure 1 inch wide, and studs are available in six lengths: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 inches. Machinists, toolmakers, and machine operators working in production or job-shop environments are the primary users of this set.

This set is suited for general-purpose workholding on manual and CNC machine tool tables with 9/16-inch T-slots. The range of stud lengths allows the clamps to accommodate workpieces and fixtures of varying heights without switching to a different hardware system. The included step blocks, serrated end clamps, T-slot nuts, flange nuts, coupling nuts, and studs provide a complete clamping solution out of the box for milling, boring, and drilling operations.

Key Features

• 52-piece set includes all hardware needed for a complete T-slot workholding setup
• 1/2-13 stud thread size for broad compatibility with standard machine table hardware
• Fits 9/16-inch T-slots found on many milling and drill press tables
• Six stud lengths (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 inches) accommodate varying workpiece and fixture heights
• Serrated end clamps provide positive grip and resist loosening under cutting forces
• Step blocks at 1-inch width offer stable, incremental height adjustment for clamping at multiple elevations

Compatibility

Designed for use with machine tool tables featuring 9/16-inch T-slots and 1/2-13 threaded stud hardware. Suitable for milling machines, drill presses, and similar equipment using standard T-slot clamping configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or machine operators as part of workpiece setup before machining operations. The machine spindle should be raised and the table should be stationary before placing or adjusting clamps. Studs should be selected based on workpiece height so clamps bear down at a slight downward angle toward the workpiece. Tighten nuts securely to prevent workpiece movement during cutting, and verify clamp placement does not interfere with tool paths before starting the machine.
