VTD-2 Mounting Aid — BT-#50 adapter holder, 238×305 mm base

The VTD-2 Mounting Aid is a compact fixture designed for horizontal and vertical machine set-up, providing a stable platform for toolholders with a BT-#50 taper

• Robust BT-#50x2 adapter holder
• Stable 238×305 mm base plate
• 187 mm overall height for compact setups
• Solid construction, 22 kg mass

Precision and stability that shorten set-up times

A heavy, well-dimensioned support reduces unwanted movement during clamping and machining; the combination of a stable base and mass close to 22 kg minimises vibration and increases repeatability. This stability translates directly into fewer re-adjustments and less downtime during fixture changes, which benefits busy workshops where consistent results are required. The broad 238×305 mm footprint ensures reliable load distribution on the machine table and supports accurate alignment of tooling for both preparatory and finishing operations.

Flexible orientation and secure clamping for diverse workflows

Designed for use in both horizontal and vertical orientations, the fixture accepts standard BT tool tapers via the BT-#50x2 adapter holder, allowing seamless use with BT-50 toolholders and adapters. The BT-#50 standard is widely used in machining environments and ensures predictable seating and concentricity when fitting arbor or spindle-mounted tooling. By permitting quick orientation changes and secure seating of the adapter, the system reduces changeover complexity and helps maintain process consistency across different operations.

Engineered for integration into professional workshops

Manufactured to support routine industrial workflows, this mounting aid combines a compact 187 mm profile with a robust base that simplifies positioning on the machine table. The model VTD-2 from Vertex is built for repeatable performance and straightforward handling, making it suitable for jigs, set-up stations and calibration benches where precise fixation is necessary. Supplied through Metav Werkzeuge’s European quality filter, the unit benefits from distribution that emphasises reliable availability and consistent product checks to support long-term workshop productivity.
