Product Information
Full details
The Proxxon 24256 Step Clamp Set is designed for machinists and hobbyists using Proxxon's MICROMOT system, particularly with the KT 70 compound table, PD230/E lathe, or MF70 milling machine. Its key benefit is providing secure workpiece clamping for precise machining operations. A minor caveat is that it is specifically designed for the MICROMOT standard T-slot dimensions. This set includes essential components for firmly holding materials during milling or turning tasks.

Troubleshooting
Clamps do not fit T-slots.
Verify that your machine's T-slots are the MICROMOT standard (11.5 x 11 x 4 mm). These clamps are not compatible with other T-slot sizes.
Difficulty tightening bolts.
Ensure the T-slot nuts are correctly aligned within the T-slot and that the threads on the bolts are clean and free from debris. Lightly lubricate the bolt threads if necessary.
Workpiece slips despite being clamped.
Ensure the step blocks are positioned correctly for maximum support and that the clamps are tightened evenly and securely. Check that the workpiece surface is clean and free from oil or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Then, place the clamps over the workpiece, align them with the bolts, and thread the bolts through the clamps and into the T-slot nuts. Tighten the bolts securely using an appropriate wrench.
