What is a CNC Vise?
A CNC vise is a mechanical or hydraulic clamping device used to securely hold a workpiece during machining operations. It ensures stability, repeatability, and accuracy.
Types of CNC Vises
There are several types of CNC vises, including:
- Standard milling vise
- Self-centering vise
- Hydraulic CNC vise
- 5-axis compatible vise
Among them, self-centering vises are widely used in high-precision applications due to their balanced clamping force.
