Abbott tooling columns (also known as Tombstones) are made of Tenzaloy™ naturally aged to T-6 condition. They provide a practical, inexpensive and lightweight means of holding work accurately in a vertical or horizontal plane for CNC machining operations. They can be mounted directly on a machine table/pallet or used in conjunction with a rotary table. Standard Abbott tooling columns are available in multiple configurations built to any height, width and thickness dimensions required for your application. In addition, base sizes can be customized to fit any machine pallet.
