Precision Vise Solutions for Every CNC and EDM Application

From self‑centering vices to modular pyramids and zero‑point bases, our solutions deliver unrivalled accuracy, repeatability and lightning‑fast change‑overs. Build your perfect clamping system today.

Why Choose Our Vises

High precision

Self‑centering and modular vices are ground to ±0.01 mm parallelism, ensuring accurate, repeatable clamping for symmetrical and irregular parts.

Quick change

Zero‑point bases and modular fixtures allow you to swap vises or workpieces in seconds, reducing setup time by up to 90%.

Versatility

Choose from self‑centering, modular, pyramids, tombstones and zero‑point bases – all compatible with 3‑axis, 4‑axis and 5‑axis machining, EDM and inspection processes.

Robust construction

Manufactured from hardened stainless or alloy steel to withstand heavy machining forces while resisting corrosion and vibration.

Precision That Pays for Itself

Increase throughput by cutting change‑over time using zero‑point bases and modular design.

Clamp irregular parts easily with self‑centering jaws that automatically align the workpiece.

Achieve multi‑side machining by using pyramid/tombstone fixtures—machine multiple faces without part repositioning.

Flexible system: combine vices, bases and fixtures to build a custom clamping solution.

Industry compatibility: integrates with Lang, Fifth axis, and other zero‑point systems.

Frequently Asked Question

How do self-centering vises work?

Self-centering vises use a synchronized jaw mechanism that moves both jaws simultaneously toward the center. This ensures the workpiece is clamped concentrically without manual adjustment. The result is faster setup, improved repeatability, and consistent positioning across multiple parts.

Can your vises be used on 5-axis machines?

Yes. RHS vises are designed for high-precision CNC environments, including 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis machining centers. Their compact design and strong clamping force make them ideal for multi-axis applications where accessibility and rigidity are critical.

Which sizes of vises are available?

RHS offers a wide range of vise sizes, including standard vises, self-centering vises, modular systems, and heavy-duty configurations. Jaw widths range from compact precision models to large-capacity production vises suitable for high clamping forces.

Are RHS vises compatible with Lang, Fifth axis?

Yes. Many RHS vises and zero-point bases are designed to integrate with Lang, Fifth axis.
