Set Up Plate for 5x5 Pattern

The WEHRS MACHINE Set Up Plate for 5x5 Pattern (WM472-5X5) is a precision alignment and setup tool designed for chassis and mounting system configuration in professional gunsmithing, armorers' workshops, and precision rifle assembly. This aluminum plate serves as a reference fixture for drilling, tapping, and aligning components to exacting tolerances on modular rifle platforms and precision tooling setups.

Measuring 16.5 x 5.5 inches with a thickness rated for structural setup work, the plate weighs 18 lbs and features natural anodized aluminum construction—a finish that resists corrosion while maintaining dimensional stability across repeated use cycles. The 5x5 pattern designation indicates a standardized hole matrix compatible with WEHRS MACHINE modular accessory systems and common precision rifle chassis mounting schemes. The anodized surface resists fingerprints and oxidation in workshop environments, essential for maintaining accurate reference surfaces in high-tolerance gunsmithing applications.

This setup plate is specified for armorers working with AR-pattern rifles, precision bolt-action platforms, and modular chassis systems where fixture-based alignment is critical. Gunsmiths and equipment manufacturers use indexing plates like this one to ensure repeatable hole placement, component squaring, and rail alignment during custom builds and maintenance workflows. The WEHRS MACHINE reputation in precision tooling reflects this product's role as a foundational setup device rather than a finished accessory.

Precision rifle accessory ecosystems depend on standardized reference geometry. The 5x5 pattern represents a widely recognized mounting matrix in the modular rifle industry, allowing cross-compatibility with WEHRS components and reducing setup time on custom builds. Proper fixture usage prevents cumulative tolerance stack-up—a critical concern in precision arms manufacturing where fractions of an inch compound across multiple assembly steps.
