ABSTRACT:
A machine tool subassembly that holds a workpiece at a predetermined position within the operating area of a machining apparatus is attached to a presetting stand outside of the machine for purposes of aligning a workpiece during the time the machine is operating on another workpiece. The presetting stand is attached to a rail on the flat top surface of a support table. The stand and rail have mating reference surfaces that correspond to the orthogonal axis of the machine. The stand includes upper and lower joint parts which engage an adjustment part of the subassembly. The joint parts include reference surfaces aligned with the machine axis so that when the subassembly engages one of the joint parts, the workpiece secured therein my be aligned along two of the three orthogonal axis of the machine. When the subassembly is connected to the second joint part, it will be aligned precisely ninety degrees to the first joint part. In this position, the third axis of the workpiece may be precisely aligned without movement or alignment disruption of the presetting stand.
