​​Why FirmVice™?

Most self-centre vices solve one problem.

FirmVice™ solves several.

Self-Centring Operation

Components are automatically centred during clamping, reducing setup time and improving repeatability.

Ideal for:

• First operation machining

• Second operation machining

• Multi-axis machining

• Production work

Patent-Pending Pull-Down Jaw System

Unlike conventional designs, FirmVice™ actively pulls the jaws into the vice body during clamping.

Benefits include:

• Increased rigidity

• Reduced jaw lift

• Improved repeatability

• Enhanced cutting performance

Built for real machining conditions.

Quick-Change Jaw System

FirmVice™ has been designed as a modular workholding platform.

Change between:

• Standard Hard Jaws

• Soft Jaws

• Dovetail Jaws

• WideBoy Jaws

without removing the vice from the machine.

96mm Zero-Point Compatible

Every FirmVice™ is manufactured with a 96mm mounting pattern featuring:

• 16mm location bores

• 4mm location depth

• M10 mounting threads

Ready for modern zero-point workholding systems.

FirmVice™ is not simply a vice.

It is a modular workholding platform.

The unique jaw mounting system allows dedicated workholding solutions to be created quickly and repeatably.
