Precision grinding vises for uncompromising flat and profile grinding
Precision grinding vises, also known as toolmaker's vises, are high-accuracy clamping devices engineered for demanding flat and profile grinding as well as precision measuring and EDM processes, providing reliable part registration and thermal stability in metalworking. Manufactured from fully hardened, stress-relieved alloy steel and ground to thousandths of a millimetre, these vises enable flexible positioning on a magnetic chuck—flat, on the side or upright—without losing reference alignment, while an integrated downward draw mechanism presses the workpiece firmly and play-free to prevent lifting during clamping. For machining complex bevels and chamfers, sinus grinding vises used with standard parallel gauges allow exact angular setting, making them indispensable for achieving superior surface finish and dimensional accuracy in tool and mould making.

Secure precise, repeatable setups on the grinding machine
Precision grinding vices, also referred to as grinding vices, precision grinding clamps or toolmaker's vices, are high-precision clamping devices engineered for the most demanding flat and profile grinding, high-precision measuring and EDM processes. They provide rigid, referenceable support so that components retain their geometric orientation even when the vice is rotated, tilted or mounted on a magnetic chuck.
How they deliver accuracy where it matters
These vices are manufactured from high-quality, through-hardened and stress-relieved alloy steel, with all outer faces, support surfaces and guideways ground to tolerances in the thousandth of a millimetre. The all-round right-angled and plan-parallel machining of the base body allows the vice and the clamped workpiece to be positioned flexibly on the machine without losing the original reference alignment. A built-in low-pull mechanism draws the movable jaw slightly down when the thread is closed, pressing the workpiece firmly and without play onto the support face and preventing any lifting during clamping. For precise angled work, sinuous setups using a sinus grinding vice on support studs with standard parallels enable mathematically exact setting of any incline.
Practical advantages that improve shop-floor productivity
- Reduced set-up time through perfectly plan-parallel reference surfaces and flexible positioning on magnetic chucks
- Increased machining accuracy thanks to thousandth-of-a-millimetre tolerances on guideways and support faces
- Reliable workholding with the low-pull mechanism, avoiding part lift and ensuring repeatable contact pressure
- Versatile angle machining when combined with sinus grinding vices and standard parallels
- Durable performance from through-hardened alloy steel, minimising wear and maintaining geometry over time
Technical essentials at a glance
- material: through-hardened, stress-relieved alloy steel
- surface tolerance: ground to thousandth-of-a-millimetre accuracy on all bearing and guide faces
- clamping principle: integrated low-pull mechanism for downward jaw engagement
- angular machining: compatible with sinus grinding vices, support studs and standard parallels
- typical applications: flat grinding, profile grinding, high-precision measuring, EDM (electrical discharge machining)

FAQ
What makes a precision grinding vice different from a standard vice?
A precision grinding vice is designed and ground all around to extremely tight tolerances and is usually made from through-hardened alloy steel; the result is fully plan-parallel reference surfaces and features such as a low-pull mechanism that prevent workpiece lift during clamping.
Can I use a grinding vice on a magnetic chuck and tilt it without losing accuracy?
Yes. The base body of a precision grinding vice is processed to be right-angled and plan-parallel on all faces, allowing secure placement and rotation on a magnetic chuck without losing the original reference alignment.
How does the low-pull mechanism improve clamping reliability?
The integrated low-pull mechanism draws the movable jaw slightly down when the thread is closed, pressing the part onto the support face with high contact pressure and eliminating any minimal lifting that can otherwise occur during clamping.
Are sinus grinding vices required for angled work?
Sinus grinding vices or equivalent setups are recommended for precise angled grinding; they rest on support studs and use standard parallels to set any desired inclination mathematically and reproducibly.
