Description

Line the hole up under the bit by turning a knob, not by nudging the part and hoping.

XY micrometer stage, top plate with tapped holes

This is a small two-axis stage of the kind used on optical benches. It sits on the base of a mini drill press, you clamp or tape the work to its top plate, and two micrometer heads move that plate front to back and side to side. Each division on the thimble is a hundredth of a millimeter.

  • Two sizes. Top plate 40 x 40 mm or 60 x 60 mm. The 40 fits the base of a small 12 V bench drill more comfortably; the 60 gives a PCB or a watch plate more room.
  • Travel about 6.5 mm each way on both axes. That is for fine positioning, not for moving a part across the table.
  • Load up to about 2 kg on the 40 and about 4 kg on the 60.
  • Aluminum body, black finish, micrometers on the center of each side.
  • Tapped holes in the top plate for fixing a small vise or a clamp; the drawings in the photos give the positions.

Before you order

The stage adds height under the chuck. Measure the gap between the chuck and the base on your own machine, and check it against the height in the drawing for the size you choose. On a small column press the head can usually be raised to make room.

The stage sits on the drill press base; fix it with a clamp or double-sided tape.

Need to raise and lower the work as well? The three-axis version adds a third micrometer for height.
