This system is designed to machine round tensile specimens up to 1.5 in (45 mm) in diameter.

In practice, that diameter limit is most relevant to the finished specimen geometry you plan to run for tensile testing, including standard round bars as well as sub-size, threaded-end, and button-head styles.

To confirm the best setup for your material and specimen style, it helps to review a few basics:

  • Starting stock shape and size (round, square, or irregular)
  • End configuration (plain, threaded, button-head) and any shoulder requirements
  • How many parts you want to fixture per setup (single vs multi-part clamping)
