[0031] By rotating the operating lever 14, the fixed plate 13 is moved under the limit of the limiting slide groove 12 until the rear end of the fixed plate 13 abuts against the fixture 2, fixing and limiting the fixture 2, making it easy to remove the fixture 2 and adjust its front-to-back length to adapt to the width of the workpiece. By inserting adjacent main plates into the dovetail groove 24 and insert block 25, they are assembled into a whole and placed in the mounting groove 11. When the width needs to be increased, simply release the limit of the fixed plate 13 to quickly adjust the fixture body, improving operating efficiency and making it more suitable for actual use. By rotating the handle 34, the fixed rod 33 is screwed into the connecting hole 32, so that the bottom of the fixed rod 33 presses the workpiece into the fixture 2 below, causing multiple sets of spring telescopic rods 22 to move according to the shape of the workpiece. Adjacent spring telescopic rods 22 limit the workpiece laterally, making the workpiece processing state more stable.
