Abstract
A fixture for workpieces which cannot be directly engaged by the work holder of a machine tool has a pallet for several work holding elements each of which has a head releasably engaging a workpiece and a section which is embedded in hardened casting material of the pallet so that the casting material does not contact the workpieces. The pallet can be a one-piece casting or is assembled of several reusable modules, and it has several mounting surfaces which facilitate predictable mounting in the work holder of a machine tool.
