    Stationary Clamping Jaw Fixtures

    Mount these fixtures to a milling machine, drill press, or other flat surface and use the jaws to grip workpieces. Their low-profile design maximizes tool clearance, which helps you machine efficiently. The jaws are precision ground to tight tolerances for repeatable centering that’s accurate within 0.02 mm. These fixtures are self-centering—they use scroll actuation, which means that all jaws move in unison to center the workpiece as they close.
    Each fixture comes with reversible jaws, which you can install for either an inside or outside grip. Use the included wrench to open or close the jaws.
    3 Reversible Jaws

    Collet Fixtures

    Pair these fixtures with collets to tightly grip workpieces for machining. You can mount them on milling machines, drill presses, and other work surfaces. However, they’re not for use with lathes, grinders, or high-speed rotary tables. All have a through hole to accommodate long workpieces.
    Lever Actuator
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Collet Fixtures, Lever Actuator.
    Lever fixtures have a handle that can be indexed to any position—no tools required. They’re often used for quickly swapping workpieces in and out, when a simple clamping mechanism is more important than consistent holding force. These fixtures keep the collet stationary while their sleeve clamps. Made from cast iron, they dampen vibration better than steel fixtures, though they’re less durable.

    Collet Nut Actuator
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Collet Fixtures. Collet Fixtures, Collet Nut Actuator.
    Collet nut fixtures convert ER collets—typically used to hold tool bits—into holders for cylindrical workpieces. The tapered, slit design of the collet distributes clamping force evenly around a workpiece. This creates a stable, consistent grip that keeps your workpiece from shifting, even under 5-axis machining forces. These fixtures are made of steel to withstand the high clamping forces and frequent cycles of production environments.

    Square Drive Actuator
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Collet Fixtures. Collet Fixtures, Square Drive Actuator.
    Square-drive fixtures are designed for precise, repeatable workholding with consistent clamping force. They keep the collet stationary while their sleeve clamps. Made of steel, these fixtures are stronger and more wear resistant than cast iron fixtures, and they can hold up to higher clamping forces. They’re precision machined for accuracy. Use the included socket wrench to clamp and unclamp your workpiece or use a calibrated torque wrench to fine-tune the clamping force.

    Indexing Jaw-Chuck Fixtures

    More flexible than indexing collet fixtures for workholding—these fixtures hold a wide range of part sizes without swapping out collets. Also known as spindexers, they’re often used to drill hole patterns, shape punches, and sharpen cutting tools. With three jaws that move together, the chuck auto-centers parts and even grips workpieces that are out-of-round or have rough surfaces. Ground to tight tolerances, the base sits flat when mounted to machine tables in either a horizontal or vertical position, preventing misalignment. With a hole through their center, they have no trouble holding long parts too. The chuck comes off, so you can also use them as rotary tables.
