Abstract

In one advantageous embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a first plate, a second plate, and an isolation plate. The first plate may be capable of receiving a mounting member for a tool requiring an operating temperature that remains substantially constant for operation of the tool. The second plate may be capable of being secured to an object. The isolation plate may be located between the first plate and the second plate. The first plate, the second plate, and the isolation plate may be secured to each other. The insulating plate may be capable of thermally isolating the tool from the object.
