DFM A2 Steel Dowel Plate 17 Holes MADE IN USA (English 17 Holes)

Product Information

The plate I received was their model TT1634C but with some minor blemishes not affecting its function.

Pick up the Fixture Plate from its crate, position is bottom side up and lay it on the machine table. It has to reach past the 1-2-3 blocks that will hold the plate off the table while I am machining through holes.

I received a plate from Dan Bye of Tosa Tool for review purposes and installed it on my Tormach PCNC 1100 CNC Mill. We have a free course on the basics of g-code programming, G10 is easy, and our G-Wizard Editor software will even simulate it so you can practice your G10 work before you have to run it on a live machine. For longer slab-life, superior joint stability and unrivalled joint deflection, the ACI-compliant PD3® Dowel Cradle features a sleeveless plate dowel designed to reduce joint spalling, facilitate optimal load transfer and deliver the lowest risk of restraint compared to other market-leading products. Using them like a hand-held pencil sharpener, you can put accurate tenons on the tips of turnings or on rustic furniture components.

Constructed from robust, 3/8" thick American-made A2 tool steel, this plate is precision-machined and ground to meet your most demanding woodworking requirements, with hardness levels ranging from 59 to 61 on the Rockwell C scale for enduring sharpness.

With an accurate Fixture Plate, you can machine big parts in sections, moving the part to allow access to each section. You simply drive an oversized piece of wood through the sharp-edged hole of the solid A2 tool steel insert to shear excess material from the dowels. We can ensure the vise is installed repeatably to the same location and perfectly trammed very easily. Unless you’re an exceptional machinist, you probably won’t be able to build a plate larger than your machine’s travels that is also accurate enough.

The design optimises both materials and labour, keeping costs down and ensuring a fast and hassle-free installation with reduced time on-site compared to standard alternatives. What that means is we need to program with exact stop g-codes and also program so we move far enough in the same direction that there is no possibility for backlash to interfere. But with a fixture plate, the vise can be accurately installed and square, so you skip the tramming step. If we take care while clamping to ensure the vise remains in contact with the three pins, we will have installed it ready to go in a very short time.

The Veritas system is a good value if you only need a few, but the Lie-Nielsen plate is a cheaper way to go if you want them all. To make dowels, you'll need the basic tool ("Grundgerät"), one of the two drives ("Mitnehmer") we offer to produce the desired dowel size, and an adapter sleeve insert ("Einsatzhülse") of the corresponding diameter. The holes are machined with 6-degree clearance taper on the underside, the holes are straight for the first . The fine adjustment is required since woods of different densities have different fiber springback when cut. A tapered plate and sleeve system designed to reduce restraint for day joint applications, the Danley® Dowel is ideal for industrial concrete floors and pavements.

If you want to make exact-sized dowels from any wood you choose, a Lie-Nielsen Dowel Plate is the best tool. The Lie-Nielsen dowel plate, made from hardened A2 steel, is ready to make dowels in diameters ranging from 1⁄8 in. This range provides the flexibility to create custom dowels from almost any material, be it hardwoods, softwoods, or exotics. Our Dowel Plate features 17 carefully spaced holes, each increasing in 1/32" increments from 1/8" to 5/8".Yes, journalists get free product a lot of time, but I’ll tell you the straight 411 about a product anyway. By using less concrete and less steel, Danley products can offer considerable reductions in both materials and labour on-site. mm) undersize (except for the 1/4 inch insert sleeve, as the lower 16th size to this, 3/16 inch, is too weak for this process). Second set is normal reach, and will be used once we’re done machining the plate supported on 1-2-3 blocks. Let’s say the coordinates of the fixed rear jaw, left front corner, on the left vise in the picture above are X20.
