The SineSet® System
SineSet® is Suburban Tool's patented system of bolt-together precision tools. Every SineSet tool carries a series suffix, S0, S1 or S2. Tools of the same series bolt directly to each other with no clamping and little or no indicating, so one sine plate becomes the base for a magnetic chuck, a vise, an angle plate, a V-block, an index fixture or a vacuum chuck.
- Saves time and money and allows quick setups.
- Requires less investment in tools: an almost limitless number of tool combinations.
- Eliminates clamping and needs little or no indicating.
- All tools can be used independently or as a sine system.
- Available in fitted wooden cases as Complete SineSets.
The building blocks
Sine plates and compound sine plates are the base. On top go the 90° conversion plate, angle plates, permanent magnetic chucks, electromagnetic chucks, vacuum chucks, precision vises, sine vises, V-blocks and the Master-Grind index fixture.
Compatibility chart
Match the series letter. Any S1 tool bolts to any S1 sine plate or compound sine plate; the same for S0 and S2.
