Kurt Caged Tombstones

Kurt Workholding’s two- and four-face caged tombstones are an excellent solution for high-density, versatile workholding on horizontal CNC machining centers. Our caged tombstones are over 30% lighter than most comparably sized tombstones with aluminum sub-plates, and are uniquely designed to reduce setup time. Kurt quick-change receiver bases can be mounted on subplates for easy vise swaps — see image gallery.

Kurt ToolBlox caged tombstones are a lower-cost alternative to dedicated fixtures. The bolt holes and dowel pattern on each face enable the fast and easy installation/removal of subplates, quick-change workholding and other workholding components, such as manual or hydraulic vises and swing clamp setups.

Four ToolBlox caged tombstone models are available, all manufactured from Class 30 grey iron for durability, stability, and long working life. Two-face and four-face models are available with 400 mm or 500 mm bases. Standard and custom sub-plates are available for all models.

Solid workholding tombstones are also available.
