Mini Low Profile Bench Vise Workholding Clamp Work Table for FoxAlien Masuter Pro, Masuter 3S, Masuter 3, XE-PRO CNC Router Machines

Well made and nice hand size - very pleased and will be useful for cnc and laser

Well made, just what I was looking for.

Works perfectly for holding anything I'm milling in my CNC router. No issues

Looks good to me 👍

I bought this to replace a smaller, a smaller steel vise (cheaper drill press style ones) I had been using. I needed larger workpiece holding with a low profile in my gantry CNC. So far, despite being designed for engraving, this vise has proven to hold larger items pretty well. I’ve not had any slippage issues while milling. It’s also very easy to square up the “fixed jaw” side and clamp the pieces in. My method is to bolt the bottom piece down, then loosen the fixed jaw and square that to the machine. It’s easier than moving an entire vise. The only negatives I’ve found are in relation to me not using it how it was intended; admittedly it still does a great job and I can’t fault the vise for the following short comings. That being said if you plan to use this for milling and not engraving there are a few things to watch. First is that setting the workpiece can be a little fiddly since the jaws are loose of the base when you tighten them onto the workpiece. Once I tighten the jaws to the base, I hit the work piece with a deadblow hammer and visually check that it’s “set” into the vise. Additionally, and for me, the largest problem I’ve had is the rear clamping bolt is eating into the soft aluminum jaw. This is most likely due to me needing to clamp harder than the design use of engraving. I believe this to be an easy fix however. When I get some extra time I plan to just mill out a pocket on the jaw and put in a steel insert for the bolt to push on. Another solution would be to use a steel shim between the bolt and clamp. All that being said, this vise has an awesome, simple and effective product design. I’d definitely buy one again or recommend it.

Monté sur une FoxAlien Vasto avec les vis et les écrous fournis. Remplit parfaitement son rôle.

Design & Functionality: The low-profile design is exactly what you want for CNC work. It holds material securely without getting in the way of the toolpath, which makes a big difference when carving detailed parts. Holding Power: For its size, this vise grips surprisingly well. Once tightened, stock stays put without shifting, even during longer carving jobs. Custom MDF Integration: I mounted this vise into a custom MDF container I built specifically for my work table, and it fits perfectly. This made alignment easy, keeps everything square, and gives me a clean, repeatable setup. I’ve attached photos to show how well it integrates — it’s a great option if you like building custom fixtures or jigs. Build Quality: The vise feels solid and well-machined. Movement is smooth, tolerances are good, and it inspires confidence when clamping smaller pieces. Bottom Line: If you’re using a FoxAlien 3018 (or similar small CNC) and want a reliable, low-profile vise that works great in custom fixtures, this is an excellent choice. Simple, sturdy, and very effective. Highly recommended.
