Step Block — Vertex clamping step block, compact 38 x 97 x 61 mm

The Step Block is a precision workpiece support designed for stepped positioning and stable clamping in machine-table and fixture setups.

• Compact 38 x 97 x 61 mm
• Stepped profile for accurate support
• Vertex manufacturing quality
• Suitable for machine table clamping

Faster set-up thanks to compact stepped support

The compact, stepped design provides a straightforward indexing surface that reduces repeated measuring and alignment. By combining a clearly defined footprint with a stepped contact face, the workpiece support reduces the number of adjustment steps required during vice or fixture setup. The direct consequence is faster clamping cycles and fewer interruptions in the production flow, which supports efficient machining schedules and better machine utilisation. The 38 x 97 x 61 mm footprint is ideal where bench space or table room is limited.

Repeatable positioning that improves process consistency

A precisely formed step profile ensures repeatable positioning and stable contact points. This repeatability reduces variability between setups, contributing to consistent part quality and less scrap. For operations that rely on accurate reference heights or stepped supports for multi-level clamping, the solid geometry of the block delivers a tangible improvement in process reliability. The component’s geometry makes it suitable as a fixed reference in jigs, fixtures and dedicated clamping configurations.

Practical design for workshop integration and low upkeep

The simple construction minimises required maintenance and inspection: keep clean, inspect contact surfaces for wear and reinstall as needed. Its straightforward form factor makes it compatible with common workholding layouts and allows rapid replacement or reconfiguration within modular clamping systems. Backed by Vertex’s manufacturing standards, the element is intended as a practical, durable addition to workshop tooling sets, helping maintain uptime and predictable performance.
