Small contact. Big holding power.

When it comes to machining complex components, maximising access while maintaining a secure grip is essential. That's exactly why the 5th Axis Dovetail Workholding System has become a go-to solution for manufacturers around the world.

By gripping the part on a small dovetail feature, you gain:

Maximum tool access for 5-sided machining

Reduced setup times

Increased rigidity and repeatability

Less material waste and fewer operations

Whether you're producing prototypes or high-volume production parts, dovetail workholding helps you machine more efficiently while maintaining exceptional accuracy.

At Grip-Tec, we're proud to be the sole UK & Ireland distributor for 5th Axis Workholding, helping manufacturers find the right solution for every application.

MTDCNC caught up with Mathew Evans, VP of 5th Axis Workholding, to discuss what makes the 5th Axis system stand out.

One of the biggest advantages of 5th Axis Workholding is its simplicity. Rather than requiring hundreds of different components to make your setups work, the system is designed to keep things straightforward, versatile, and efficient, helping you reduce setup time while maximising productivity.

In this short clip, Mathew explains the philosophy behind the 5th Axis approach and why a simpler workholding solution can make such a big difference on the shop floor.

Take a listen below and let us know your thoughts!

There was plenty of interest throughout the week, with great conversations, live demonstrations, and the chance to connect with both familiar faces and new contacts from across the manufacturing industry.
