The present invention relates to modular fixture system for machining of surgical artery forceps of various shapes, sizes which are used for controlling bleeding and for  the retraction of tissues, skin, etc during surgical procedures. The fixture includes a modular common base with suitable numbers of mounting holes to accommodate 04  different set up fixtures which completes the total machining of the component, position and orientation of the individual set up fixtures are ensured by using a set of  dowel pins. Specially designed adjustable (spring loaded) rest pads, locators, orientation pins and clamps with adjustable thrust pads enable the fixture to accommodate  the forged Stainless steel blanks with up to 15% or more. Level of flexibility in the fixture empowers the user with freedom to use this same fixture setup for machining  of surgical artery forceps of different shapes, sizes just by using different interchangeable accessories.
