Mate Workholding

For Machinists by Machinists

Machinists are a special breed – expert metalheads who turn raw metal into something beautiful and useful. They’re called upon to perform miracles on a daily basis. Their ability to meet extreme quality specs and deadlines is often under appreciated. Sound familiar?

Like you, the metalheads at Mate Precision Technologies are also miracle makers. When our machinists and engineers couldn’t find the right workholding system for their needs, they built their own — something better, stronger, and bolder than what’s currently on the market. They built a new line of Mate workholding vises, bases, and mounts with features that can’t be beat:

Maximized holding power in a compact, modular design
Reduced setup time and process variability
Best-in-class accuracy and repeatability

Our line of vises, bases, and mounting systems is designed for quick change machining setups and multi-station or machine tool setups.

What Other Metalheads Are Saying

“With other vises that we were using, a lot of additional time was necessary to square and dial in the vises to the machine. This wasn’t the case with Mate’s DynoGrip™ vises. The vises are so well built, the only measurable issues we had came from the machine itself.”

Mark Moeller, JBT Machining

“The quick-change jaw with the anti-lift design is a key feature for us when we run small lot sizes. We are able to change over to a new job in seconds with confidence the jaws are located correctly every time.”

Brett Kuenkel, Command Tooling Systems
