Value Collection AKB-2 Slide Machining Table 5.5x11.81in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION AKB-2 is a slide machining table designed for use with drill presses, milling machines, and similar bench-top machine tools. It provides controlled cross and longitudinal movement to accurately position workpieces during drilling or light milling operations. The table measures 5.5 inches wide by 11.81 inches long and stands 4.84 inches overall height. Cross travel is 3.94 inches and longitudinal travel is 7.09 inches. Dial graduation is 0.0012 inches (0.03 mm) with 3 mm of travel per dial revolution, giving machinists repeatable, fine positioning control. At 37.4 pounds, the cast construction provides the rigidity needed to minimize chatter and hold position under load.

This slide table is suited for machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments where a standard drill press or benchtop mill lacks a built-in compound table. It is typically used in residential shop and light commercial applications where precise workpiece positioning improves hole placement accuracy or allows simple step-milling passes. Two 5/8-inch longitudinal T-slots accommodate standard T-slot bolts for clamping vises, stops, or workholding fixtures directly to the table surface.

Key Features

• 3.94 inches of cross travel for lateral workpiece positioning
• 7.09 inches of longitudinal travel for fore-and-aft workpiece movement
• Dial graduation of 0.0012 inches (0.03 mm) for precise incremental movement
• 3 mm travel per dial revolution for consistent, repeatable adjustments
• Two 5/8-inch longitudinal T-slots for standard workholding hardware
• 37.4-pound construction for stability and reduced vibration during operation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slide machining table for use with benchtop drill presses and light-duty milling machines that accept a bolt-on compound table accessory.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or skilled tradesperson. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting the table to the machine's existing work surface or base casting. Verify that the mounting hole pattern and column clearance match the host machine before torquing any fasteners. Keep leadscrews and ways clean and lightly lubricated during use to maintain travel accuracy and protect against corrosion.
