I have the speedio S700x1 machine and I love it. Recently I have been working on various fixtures for some repeat jobs and I have run into an issue.
If I bolt the fixture plate down on the table, the tools won't reach unless I use extended tool holders which pretty much kills the machining time.
On one fixture, I made 1" round and 1" high legs and mounted the fixture to the interchangeable plate on those risers just to get that high enough to reach.
Now this next fixture I am designing is another small part and will be a low lying fixture. I will need to raise this one up about 1-1/2". I would rather not put a 1-1/2" piece of plate on top of the 3/4" quick change fixture plate.
What do you guys do to get your reach on small parts?
