Add Pull Studs to Create a Quick-Change setup for a tombstone or a VMC
Kurt can add 96 mm or 52 mm spaced pull studs locations to many of our standard milling vises. The examples below show a DX6 and 3600V with 96 mm spacing for mounting on Kurt quick-change bases. Create quick-change setup solutions for multi-sided tombstones or mount in a VMC for high-density setups. Allows operators to easily mix and match different vises for a variety of jobs. Ask us about adding pull studs to a new vise or one you already own.
Most Kurt Vise Models Can Be Mounted Back-to-Back on a Wide Base
Mount a pair of 6-inch TriLock Vises or go even larger with two D100 models. Kurt can mount most vises on 500 mm bases for use in horizontal machining centers or to be mounted on pallets. Contact our custom team today to discuss back-to-back vise mounting options.
