• Positioning workpieces in jigs for batch production

Good to know

The BS3N is designed for horizontal mounting and can be attached via T-slot or directly to a machine table. The trapezoidal thread spindle allows fine adjustment of clamping pressure, while the swivel pressure plate automatically aligns to the workpiece surface. Regular lubrication of the pivot points will maintain smooth operation over years of service.
