The pallet locating and clamping means comprise a plurality of inverted V-blocks accurately positioned in the work stations of the machine which are adapted to cooperate with complementary V-grooves provided in the undersides of the pallets for automatically positioning and supporting such pallets precisely in the work stations preparatory to machining or other work operations to be performed on workpieces carried by the pallets. The clamping means for the pallets preferably are mechanically actuated and correlated with the pallet transfer device to clamp the pallets securely on the locating and supporting V-blocks. The clamping means includes clamping members which engage the pallets and toggles for moving the clamping members into and out of engagement with the pallets. The drive means which operate the mechanical actuators are spring operated and on movement of the actuator in one direction engage the toggles and on further movement in the one direction effect extension of the toggles to move the clamping members into clamping engagement with a pallet.
