Unlock the full potential of your machining operations with Tuscan 5-Axis Self-Centring Vices, designed to deliver exceptional precision, repeatability, and versatility at a fraction of the cost of premium alternatives. These vices are engineered to meet the needs of modern manufacturers looking for high-quality, robust, and affordable solutions for 5-axis machining, CNC milling, and multi-axis operations.

Key Features of Tuscan 5-Axis Self-Centring Vices:

Superior Precision and Repeatability

Tuscan 5-Axis Self-Centring Vices provide precise clamping, ensuring that parts are held securely and accurately throughout the machining process. The self-centring mechanism guarantees that your workpiece is always positioned with optimal precision, reducing setup time and minimising the chance of errors.

The repeatable clamping system is ideal for high-volume production runs where consistency and part quality are crucial, helping you achieve the same results from the first part to the last.

45-Degree Dovetail Angle for Enhanced Clamping

One of the standout features of Tuscan 5-Axis vices is the 45-degree dovetail angle built into the jaws. This clever design improves the grip on parts, especially during 5-axis machining operations where angular positioning is crucial. The dovetail angle ensures that the workpiece is securely held, even under higher cutting forces, which results in improved clamping stability and reduced chance of slippage during machining.

The dovetail design enhances clamping force by increasing the surface contact between the vice jaws and the workpiece, making it ideal for parts that require precision clamping in multi-axis machining.

Durable and Robust Construction

Constructed from high-quality steel, the Tuscan 5-Axis vices offer superior strength and durability. Unlike some alternatives, these vices are built to withstand heavy-duty machining operations, providing a long service life even in demanding production environments.

The robust design ensures that your vices will remain accurate over time, with minimal wear or degradation, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

Cost-Effective Solution for Precision Clamping

Tuscan 5-Axis Self-Centring Vices offer the same high-quality clamping performance you would expect from premium systems, but at a more affordable price point. By choosing Tuscan vices, you get the reliability and precision you need for your machining operations without the hefty price tag of other well-known brands.

With Tuscan vices, you can save significantly on your initial investment, while still maintaining the accuracy and efficiency that are essential for your production process.

Optimised for 5-Axis Machining

Ideal for 5-axis machining centres, the Tuscan 5-Axis vices provide the flexibility needed for complex, multi-sided parts. Their self-centring design ensures that the workpiece is held firmly in place, allowing for accurate cuts from every angle and improving your machining capabilities across multiple operations.

These vices are perfectly suited for both small and large parts, offering clamping solutions for a wide variety of geometries and sizes.

Quick Setup and Efficient Clamping

The quick clamping mechanism on Tuscan 5-Axis vices allows for rapid setup times, making them ideal for shops with high turnover or those working on multi-part production runs.
