    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.

    High-Precision Milling-Machine Vises

    The vise body and stationary jaw are one piece for a repeatable clamping accuracy of ±0.0005", even under heavy loads. Ground flat to a parallel tolerance of 0.0005" on the base and three sides, these vises ensure accuracy whether mounted on the base, either side, or upright. They are designed for use with 3- and 4-axis CNC milling machines. To hold wider workpieces, you can attach the jaws to the outside ends of the jaw holders.

    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.
