    Dovetail Milling-Machine Vises

    Image of System. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Vises. Dovetail Milling-Machine Vises.
    Designed to hold parts on 4- and 5-axis milling machines, these vises provide rigid clamping while exposing five full sides of the workpiece. This allows even complex parts to be completed in a single operation.
    Vises require a dovetail and locating slot to be cut into the bottom side of your material. The dovetail-shaped jaws grip the matching dovetail in your material for consistent locating and high repeatability. Use a Carbide Dovetail End Mill to cut dovetail notches into your material.
    While the vises can be mounted directly to some machines or rotary tables, most will require an adapter plate.

    No need to prepare this material before machining parts in dovetail vises—the dovetails and locating slots are already cut in. The slots are sized to match the jaws on most dovetail milling-machine vises and ensure the workpiece is positioned accurately.

    Compact Milling-Machine Vises

    The small size allows multiple vises to be mounted on a single machine table. Frequently used in 4- and 5-axis milling machines, these vises can hold a workpiece in multiple ways.
    Use the smooth, flat face of the jaws to grip like a conventional machine vise. Raise the workpiece by resting it on the jaws' step to allow more access for cutting tools; serrated teeth along the edge ensure a firm grip. Use the 45° dovetail to hold a matching dovetail machined into your part.
    Vises are self-centering—the jaws move inward at the same time to consistently position your workpiece in the center of the vise.

    Dovetail Cut Style

    Cut dovetail notches into your workpiece for use with our Dovetail Milling-Machine Vises. Made of solid carbide, these end mills are harder, stronger, and more wear resistant than high-speed steel and cobalt steel for the longest life and best finish on hard material. Their extreme hardness means they are brittle, so a highly rigid setup, such as a CNC machine, is necessary to prevent the end mill from breaking.
