Modular vises, any recommendations?

[Bob W.]

When I had my TR160 trunnion I mounted a Lang plate permanently and then I could install/ remove any fixture in a few seconds.  It worked great for production parts because I would make duplicate fixtures and change out the entire fixture at the end of each cycle and change the parts in the fixture outside of the machine.  The Lang plates work REALLY well and are worth every penny.

Does anyone know if models are available for the Triag vises?  I am putting a presentation together to transition into modular workholding and would be great to layout a machine with the vises in place.

Nevermind.  I found them.  I was on the wrong Triag website.

I just put a V562 from Fifthaxis on our Haas TR210 trunnion. Very nice vice, and nice models to import make programming easy. I have never used a dovetail five axis vise before, so I didn't know what to expect, but I was impressed. I was able to hold 4" square by 2.5" thick flamecut steel blocks without any prep. I hit them pretty hard with a face mill, then roughed all five sides with Seco high feed tools, and none of them came out and chased me across the shop.

If I'm going with Dovetail vices, there's only two I reccommend, Techni-grip or Raptor. They are quality manufacturers that innovate and don't imitate.
