Abstract: A support system to support a work piece is disclosed. The work piece has at least one machineable plate and at least one fixture-stabilizing portion. The support system includes a support device for insertion between the machineable plate and the fixture-stabilizing portion. The support device includes a first support member with a first end and a second end. A channel extends from the first end along a first direction. Further, a second support member is adjustably coupled to the first support member to adjust a length between the first end and an end of the second support member, distal to the first support member. A strain gauge unit is configured to indicate a force induced in the support device upon linear manipulation of the support device and when the support device is positioned and tightened against the machineable plate and the fixture-stabilizing portion.
