A T-slot base plate is a flat, rigid plate that features a series of T-shaped grooves (slots) running along its surface. These grooves are designed to accept T-slot nuts or bolts, which can be used to secure components, workpieces, or fixtures in place. T-slot base plates are widely used in various industries, especially in machining, assembly, and woodworking, as they provide a versatile, adjustable, and secure mounting surface.
