4-CYLINDER Engine Block Table M-1300 -

The fixture table is used to position and secure engine blocks during machining and grinding operations. The M-1300 model from Chinelatto was specifically developed for 4-cylinder engines, allowing stable and precise block fixturing. With its dimensions of 51.2x18.1x24 inches (1300x460x610mm) and adjustable shim system from 2-7.9 inches (50-200mm), it ensures correct positioning during resurfacing, honing or other engine rebuilding operations.

The M-1300 table from Chinelatto has useful dimensions of 51.2 inches (1300mm) length, 18.1 inches (460mm) width and 24 inches (610mm) height. It's designed to work with 4-cylinder engine blocks, including complete fixturing system with adjustable shims at different heights: 2 inches (50mm), 3.9 inches (100mm) and 7.9 inches (200mm). The kit includes 9 nuts, 4 threaded shafts, 8 washers, hex bolts and 12 UNC 1/2 nuts for secure fixturing during machining.

This specific table was developed for 4-cylinder engines. The M-1300 model has its dimensions and fixturing system optimized for this type of block. With useful length of 51.2 inches (1300mm) and width of 18.1 inches (460mm), it perfectly accommodates most 4-cylinder blocks from domestic and imported markets. The adjustable shims allow working with different block heights, ensuring versatility within this engine category.

The manual table like the M-1300 uses mechanical system with bolts and shims to secure the block, requiring manual adjustment by the operator. The hydraulic table uses pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders for automatic clamping. The manual advantage is lower cost, simple maintenance and total control of clamping pressure by the mechanic. It's ideal for shops working with different block types, as it allows precise adjustments according to each part's requirements.

The system uses shims of different heights - 2 inches (50mm), 3.9 inches (100mm) and 7.9 inches (200mm) - that combine to level the block in correct position. The shims have grooves that fit onto the threaded shafts of the M-1300 table. The operator chooses the shim combination according to block height, adjusts the hex bolts to clamp firmly and ensures the surface to be machined stays perfectly parallel to the table. This system allows working with different sized blocks while maintaining precision.

Maintenance is simple: always clean after use removing chips and oil, check that threaded shafts turn freely and lubricate with grease when necessary. Verify that shims aren't damaged or worn in the grooves. Bolts and nuts should be periodically inspected for replacement if worn. Since the M-1300 is built in steel, applying rust protection when the shop will be idle for extended periods ensures equipment durability.
