Machining Fixture Stops for Build Pro - Certiflat - Fabblock Welding Tables - Stop Warping Welds

Machining Fixture Stops for Build Pro - Certiflat - Fabblock Welding Tables. These fixutre stops are used to stop warping welds. They will help you keep the metal flat, and from distortion occuring due to high temps.
We used the late to machine the diameter and cut the threads, and used the mill to drill the cross holes for the adjustment screws.
Perfect for any home, diy, hobby person
Quick weekend video using some 1" 1018 Cold Rolled round stock to turn some fixture stops to help with weld warpage on the certiflat fabblock style welding tables with 5/8" holds. Used the mill and lathe to make these stops.

Those bolts caught my eye! Well done. I like the 3 jaw, and good to see the big mill doing work.

[@turbocobra]

lol, I will be sure to use annodized bolts in future videos!

[@tommyt2854]

thanks for putting together your videos. every time I watch one I learn something!

[@turbocobra]

Thanks Tommy, glad you like them.

[@garyc5483]

Nice job Gary. They will come in real handy. Thanks for sharing. regards from the UK

[@turbocobra]

Thanks Gary

[@superiorwelding]

I like the threaded stops! Those are similar to stops I had a friend make for me but mind don't bolt to the table. Now I have a new idea!

[@turbocobra]

Awesome, thanks man.

[@1970chevelle396]

That looks like a good idea.

[@turbocobra]

thanks sir

[@GregsGarage]

I saw the orange and had to tune in!

[@turbocobra]

Do you even make videos anymore?

[@GregsGarage]

What are videos? LOL! Hoping to have something cut together for tomorrow.

[@paulmorrey733]

Thanks

[@sanjaysami4315]

Fantastic idea. Just a thought, if the orange bolts were longer, you could have them go through the fixture, then you could use an Allen key to adjust it from the other side.

[@TomsToolRoom]

The bright color made me do it!

[@turbocobra]

Lol thanks Tom.

[@billdlv]

That is a very good idea Gary, Good job. The strong hand hold downs use a ball lock mechanism, you should check them out.

[@turbocobra]

Thanks Bill, yea I have seen the rests, stops, eccentric stops, i have also seen the ball lock type, but i haven't see any that have as much adjustability as the ones in this video. Those eccentric ones seem to have very little travel and sit flat on the table, which may or may not work for some things.

[@Cobrafanatik22]

Man I miss those days of working on a lathe.

[@turbocobra]

It's fun for sure, thanks Billy!

[@bradleylove860]

Nice job, some lock nuts on the adjustment bolts would probably work well.

[@WeldersOnly]

Awesome idea, I'll have to wait to make these until I have my own shop because unfortunately my boss doesn't think having a good table is necessary when making hand rails and what not including very expensive stainless rails. My table is 16 ft long and there is not one flat spot on it since its only 3/8 and over the years things have been slammed on top and other not so bright employees gouged it so many times with grinders. I'd LOVE to have a table like yours, I'll definitely have something like that when I get my own shop started.

[@turbocobra]

cool man, sounds like you have some good plans.

[@Oh6Torch]

You lost me when you started the lathe. Lol!

[@JerrysThisandThat]

Good idea sir.

[@turbocobra]

Thanks Jerry

[@DrLumpy]

Put a scrap piece of the same angle iron under the back, unsupported edge of the foot of that clamp so you'll have a flat surface to clamp to. Or, clamp the foot of the clamp to the table (instead of the work) so IT acts as a stop, opposing your new stop. And I'd sure want to get that middle, top piece of the work stabilized and squared up to the legs, before moving and/or clamping the legs. Without that midsection stabilized, your new dog stops can't realize their theoretical accuracy. Which should easily be a thou, if you're using something like a 32 thread pitch adjusting screw. Good design. I'd like to see it used to it's full(er) potential. Thanks - Lumpy

[@bigshantolifting]

Great work Gary. If you decide to manufacture these for sale, I'd be interested in purchasing some. I'd make some myself if i had the kind of shop you did!

[@turbocobra]

Where are you located? I will make you some of these for $20ea plus shipping if you really want them

[@cecil6711]

Colors pretty,me watch. lol :-)

[@turbocobra]

Lol thanks Cecil.

[@reideichner8597]

Hi Gary, Good idea for the fixture stops. I like the adjustable part on them. You can never have enough fabrication components! What is the distance on the hole centers on your welding table? Take Care, Reid

[@kbracing96]

They are 2" on center

[@larryrobinson7492]

What is the part number for those clamps? I can't seem to find them.

[@TheJR914]

Good job! What type of VFD are you using? Most VFD has a low speed torque boost.

[@turbocobra]

It's a Toshiba, 3phase input and output, it seems quite complicated. I will scope it out to see if it has the low speed torque boost.

[@terrorofdemons1168]

On the job they call that a jack bolt.

[@CHRISINMCNEILL]

How well do you like your tab and slot table?

[@turbocobra]

I like it a lot, works well

[@thatguythatdoesstuff7448]

If you need any further endorsements, I'll throw mine in. I don't have a fab block, I have the pro model and a mix of Stronghand and self made fixtures. Such a great weld table for a hobbyist. Makes getting great results very, very easy.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Slick fabrication for jigging.

[@turbocobra]

Thanks George.

[@EcoMouseChannel]

Wait until you see my fixture stops, you'll be kicking yourself on little work went into them ;-)

[@turbocobra]

well if your are that good, i will just copy them and make more, so quit bragging and post it up dude!

[@EcoMouseChannel]

You can totally copy them! As soon as my table gets back from CNC, I'll be posting my ultimate MFT fixture table. I went with 5/8 or 16mm holes because I wanted the fixture stops to work with my welding table as well.

[@BrandonNapier]

me like pretty color.... hahahah

[@robertbutler8004]

That is one big useless lathe!!!

[@turbocobra]

Big? no, Useless? no... your O for 2 Bro
