Optical Breadboard Plate, Solid Aluminum, 18 x 30 in., 1 in. 1/4-20 Grid

These solid aluminum, nonmagnetic, optical breadboard plates provide a low cost, convenient platform for building optical assemblies, small optical experiments and optical subsystems.  Our wide variety of breadboard accessories make it easy to incorporate these breadboards into larger optical systems with ease. 

These solid aluminum optical breadboards have a matt black anodized surface that reduces unwanted reflections compared to honeycomb breadboards that use a stainless steel top skin working surface. Anodized aluminum is also non-magnetic compared to stainless steel.

SA2 solid aluminum optical breadboards feature four counterbored through holes in the breadboard corners, making it easy to retrofit to existing optical tables for increased workspace and convenience.  As compared to competitive solid breadboards, our mounting through holes are located on the mounting hole grid.  This allows an SA2 breadboard mounted to an optical table to have its hole pattern aligned with the optical table hole pattern instead of being offset from it.
