ABSTRACT:
A workpiece holding device for a T-slotted machine table includes a locator block having a planar bottom surface, a mounting hole that intersects the bottom surface to define a center point, at least one workpiece locating surface disposed a predetermined distance from the center point, and a key protruding from the bottom surface at a second point offset a predetermined distance from the center point. The protruding portion of the key has a width substantially the same as the T-slot opening so as to slidably mount in the T-slot. A fastener extends through the mounting hole and secures the locator block to a T-nut slidably mounted in the T-slot. A clamp secured to the locator block clamps the workpiece to the locating surface of the locator block. A method of using the device is also disclosed.
