The base table has two removable inserts; one blank and the other with a central locator hole. The blank insert provides a flat and solid base for positioning samples for testing.  The insert with locator hole can be used for mounting various test fixtures such as the FG/BEC back extrusion food cell and the FB/VBS Volodkevitch bite set.

The insert can also be removed and the table used with other fixtures including the FG/KSC Kramer shear cell and the Bratzler shear blade set, which locate in the cut-out section (without an insert plate). These fixtures are secured using two thumbscrews to ensure accurate central positioning.
