March 1st 2009 The ability to maximise the
capabilities of existing machine tool
resources is a key feature of the latest
LEAVE, Chick and Abbott jig and
fixturing systems, available in the UK
from 1st Machine Tool Accessories.
LEAVE's range comprises readyto-
use baseplates, angle plates and
cubes, augmented by positioning,
support and auxiliary components.
These include universal stops,
mechanical and magnetic clamps,
supports, jaws, vices, bushes, blocks,
dowels and accessories to enable
customised workholding solutions

the cost or lead-times associated with
custom-designed jigs and fixtures.

plates and bases complement its high
capability chuck jaws and accessories
to provide users with a range of
integrated workholding solutions.
