L Plates

L Plates: Precision, Stability, and Flexibility in One Fixture

The Full Grip’s L Plates are designed to expand what’s possible with your current machining setup. Built from premium tool steel and precision-machined for maximum rigidity, these modular plates allow you to position and clamp parts at multiple angles without sacrificing repeatability.
Compatible with Grid 52 and Grid 96 zero point systems, our L Plates integrate seamlessly into your existing workholding setup. Whether you’re mounting vices, fixtures, or custom plates, they help you make the most out of your machining envelope.
Perfect for 3-axis and 4-axis applications, L Plates give you the ability to approach the workpiece from different orientations, improving access and machining efficiency. Combined with The Full Grip’s Self-Centering Vices and Zero Point Plates, they form the foundation for building a truly modular, high-performance workholding system.
From small jobbing shops to advanced CNC production, The Full Grip L Plates deliver precision and versatility that keep your machine cutting smarter, not harder.

Expand Your Machining Capabilities with L Plates

L Plates are more than just a mounting accessory, they’re a gateway to greater flexibility and productivity. Designed for precision alignment and rigid support, our L Plates make it easy to fixture parts vertically or at multiple angles, unlocking new machining possibilities on 3-axis and 4-axis CNC machines.
When paired with the right components, they transform standard setups into modular, multi-angle systems that cut down on changeovers and maximise spindle uptime.

Compatibility with Grid 52 and Grid 96 Systems

Every Full Grip L Plate is precision-machined for seamless compatibility with Grid 52 and Grid 96 zero point systems, ensuring you can mix and match with your existing workholding setup.
This grid compatibility allows L Plates to integrate perfectly with Zero Point Plates and Self-Centering Vices, giving you complete control over fixture positioning and repeatability.
No matter your table size or machine configuration, our grid-standard L Plates provide the foundation for consistent, repeatable, and highly adaptable setups.

Unlock 3-Axis and 4-Axis Workholding Possibilities

L Plates give machinists the ability to clamp components in multiple orientations, ideal for 3-axis and 4-axis machining.
By allowing the workpiece to be fixed vertically or at precise angles, you can machine multiple faces in a single setup, improving both throughput and accuracy.
This flexibility reduces the need for multiple fixtures or re-clamping operations, saving valuable time while maintaining positional accuracy throughout production runs.

Turn Your 4-Axis Setup into a 5-Axis Powerhouse

The true potential of L Plates shines when combined with Zero Point Plates and Self-Centering Vices. Together, these components allow you to approach your workpiece from virtually any direction, giving you 5-axis-like accessibility… even on 4-axis machines.
By integrating L Plates into your modular system, you can achieve full workpiece access, faster part changeovers, and more efficient machining strategies, all without needing to invest in a dedicated 5-axis machine.
Learn how our complete system can enhance your workflow with The Full Grip Workholding Packages.

Built to Last, Engineered for Precision

Manufactured from hardened tool steel, our L Plates are designed for durability, strength, and long-term accuracy. Each plate undergoes precision grinding and inspection to ensure perfect perpendicularity and surface flatness – critical factors for high-accuracy machining and repeatable results.
When paired with your existing modular system, The Full Grip L Plates turn every fixture setup into a precision platform capable of handling any job, big or small.
