I buy tooling/jig plate cut to size and machine my own locating holes. Though I have looked at Jergens Ball Lock Mounting System, and since I own Haas machines, they have pre-engineered solutions that look appealing.
I'm still waiting on delivery of my mill. The use of a fixture plate looks very appealing.
My question is this: Why do folks who own a decent mill purchase ready made fixture plates?
Aren't their own mills more than capable to make an acurate one themselves?
Are commercially made ones more precision?
Is the choice of steel or aluminum significantly different when choosing an appropriate material?

Alro steel. Its pre-machined aluminum, faced on both sides.
