Spares & inserts
Keep your fab bay running by matching your spares and inserts to the real work on your floor. We help you get the right dogs, jaws and fixtures in place.
Common questions about spares and inserts
Most teams ask about the right spares for their fab gear and how often to swap parts. For the BenchMaster Pro, we carry dog grid inserts, M10 earth plates, soft jaw sets and angle blocks. ClampRail jaws come in soft or serrated types, and we keep skirt kits and tip board labels for TorchBay. Your workshop routine, like shift checks or weekly kit audits, usually decides when things get replaced.
We often hear, can you get by with only one spare set? If the gear is shared between crews or you do shutdown work, a backup set saves downtime. Coastal shops fighting rust on clamps and screws need more frequent checks. TVET bays with busy apprentice rotations lose or wear out small parts faster, so labelled spares bins help. Don't forget to inspect earth lugs and dog plates for hot spots after heavy welding.
What to send us to match your spares kit
To help you order the right spares, we need a few key details about your fab bay. The more info you send, the faster we can match parts and inserts to your setup.
If you are sending us a message, have these ready:
- Gear family and model (BenchMaster Pro, ClampRail System, etc)
- How many bays or benches you want to equip
- Anything that needs urgent swap or is missing
- Usual work type (steel, aluminium, pipe, plate)
- Special issues (rust, student use, recent audit findings)
After you send us a message
Our team checks your details, looks up fit and options for your bay, and sends practical advice or a spares list. If you need help with warranty swaps or fit issues, we cover returns under the Consumer Protection Act. Most gear has simple install steps and we supply fitment cards where needed.
If you are training crews, remember the OHS Act requires operators to be supervised and instructed in safe use. We can assist with hands-on sessions or habit cards for shift checks. PPE, earth lugs and guards are always included in our fit advice. Once you have what you need, we keep a record so future orders are quicker.
