Dovetail Vise DoveLock™

New Kurt DoveLock Dove Tail Vise Designed For Aggressive 5 Axis Machining Operations

Kurt Manufacturing introduced its DoveLock™ dovetail vise featuring 5-axis workholding for advanced machining operations. The DoveLock™ dovetail vise provides 4,000 lbs of precision clamping force, holding parts without distorting the workpiece while providing access to 5 surfaces of the workpiece.

The DoveLock™ dovetail vise is built from pre-hardened 4140 steel, ensuring workholding rigidity. When under high machining pressure, deflection and clamp creep is minimized by its unique design. Three features make this possible: the clamping screw is located at the top of the clamping envelope, the moveable jaw slide is retained within the stationary jaw, and machined dove tail jaws for added grip.

For fast positioning in the vise jaws, the DoveLock™ dovetail vise features a one-half inch movable jaw stroke. This allows precise raw stock clamping with less material preparation. Another feature is an embedded locating pin that maintains part location accuracy when applying side load pressure.

To elevate parts further off the machine table, an optional riser base is available. The robust riser provides 1.250” inches of additional elevation and can be stacked in multiples to achieve the desired height.
