Step Block – Vertex compact step block with step-format geometry, 32 x 30 x 19 mm

Step Block is a compact fixture element designed to provide stable elevation and repeatable positioning in machining and clamping setups, suitable for workshop and industrial fixturing tasks

• Compact footprint 32 x 30 x 19 mm
• Step-design for secure clamping
• Precision-manufactured by Vertex
• Suitable for workshop fixturing

Space-saving design for denser fixture layouts

The compact footprint of this step-format block (measuring 32 x 30 x 19 mm) enables tighter component arrangement on tooling plates and vises, saving valuable working area. Where bench space or T‑slot real estate is limited, a smaller elevation element reduces interference with adjacent clamps and tooling heads. This geometry supports faster changeovers and contributes to shorter setup times, delivering a clear increase in process efficiency without requiring bespoke fixturing solutions.

Consistent elevation and repeatability for machining operations

The stepped profile ensures stable contact points for jaws and locating faces, promoting repeatable workpiece positioning across successive setups. By using a dedicated step element rather than improvised supports, setups become more predictable and inspection processes simpler. The design translates directly into fewer alignment adjustments, which reduces idle time on the machine and supports higher throughput while maintaining machining tolerances.

Supply reliability and practical workshop benefits

Sourced from Vertex, the block fits into a broad array of standard clamping routines and is suitable for both one-off jobs and series production due to its straightforward geometry. Stocking compact, standardised elements like this reduces the need for bespoke fixtures and simplifies inventory management. Combined with Metav Werkzeuge’s European distribution and quality filter in Emmerich, customers gain access to dependable supply, transparent ordering and a wide selection of complementary fixturing components for a coherent workshop setup.
