In precision machining, workholding is everything. If your setup isn’t stable, your tolerances won’t be either. That’s why choosing the right T-slot plate for your CNC machine or assembly process is critical—and increasingly, manufacturers are turning to cast aluminum T-slot plates for a lighter, high-performance solution.
At World of Clamping, we offer T-slot plates made from EN AW-5083 cast aluminum, designed specifically for precision applications where dimensional stability, machinability, and corrosion resistance are top priorities.
What Makes EN AW-5083 Aluminum Stand Out?
EN AW-5083 is a high-strength aluminum alloy known for its excellent resistance to corrosion—even in industrial or marine environments. More importantly for CNC users, it offers:
-
Excellent machinability
-
High dimensional stability
-
Reduced weight compared to steel
-
Good weldability and strength-to-weight ratio
These properties make EN AW-5083 a perfect choice for T-slot plates, especially in applications where reducing mass is essential—such as on gantry machines, robotic systems, or portable setups.
Lighter Doesn’t Mean Weaker
One of the biggest misconceptions about aluminum is that it sacrifices strength for weight. Our cast aluminum T-slot plates are engineered to deliver rigid and vibration-resistant workholding, just like their steel counterparts. Whether you're mounting vises, fixtures, or custom jigs, you can count on dependable stability throughout your machining process.
Versatile Applications Across Industries
Our aluminum T-slot plates are ideal for:
✅ CNC milling and routing
✅ Assembly and inspection fixtures
✅ 3D printing setups
✅ Prototyping and test benches
✅ Woodworking and plastics machining
Whether you're working with metal, wood, plastic, or composites, these plates provide a solid, accurate surface for repeatable results.
Customization is What We Do Best
Not every machine—or project—is the same. That’s why we offer custom sizes, hole patterns, and configurations tailored to your exact needs. Whether you're retrofitting a current system or designing something new, we’ll build a T-slot plate that fits your workflow.
Looking for something modular or need integration with vacuum tables or clamping systems? We’re ready to help.
