Product Overview

New Dovetail Fixtures and Adapter Plates

Alex gives us a quick tour of the new dovetail fixtures and adapter plates available now at HaasTooling.com.

Dovetail fixtures provide one of the most secure, repeatable, and compact work holding solutions, especially for 4 and 5-axis machining.

 

Minimal Clamping Material
These fixtures require less than 1/8” [3mm] of material to hold on to

 

Rigid and Stable
The 60-degree dovetail prevents lifting under cutting forces and is stronger than a 45-degree dovetail. The fixture is made from 4140 and built to last

 

Excellent Repeatability
The locating pin locates raw material perfectly each time, without the need for a bulky external part stop. Clamping forces pull the workpiece into the fixture and eliminate effects like jaw lift or deflection

 

Access to 5 sides
Compact design provides more tool clearance to reach more features of a part in one set up

Proper dovetail preparation is critical for the best performance. Follow the dovetail prep drawing for each fixture.
A correct dovetail will only contact the fixture on the top surface and the angled face. There should be no contact between the bottom of the dovetail and the fixture or in any of the corners
This is more than just a locating pin. It prevents the workpiece from sliding out of the fixture when machining in certain orientations. Follow the dovetail preparation guidelines to maximize the rigidity of your setup.
