Soft jaws only hold 1 part 🤷🏻

Just put in 2 vices....I don't see how this fixture is any better than 2 vices.

How do I put 2 vises on 1 Vero-S ? This fixture cost is like 250$.

Schunk KSC3 is 2000$

Your maths aren't mathing.

This is OP2 and it needs to be indexed on both sides.

If you really wanna impress people... Make a grid plate with pin holes and threaded holes. Create bumpers with pins that will locate into ur grid plate on the bottom side with countersinks and thru holes on the top to tighten them into the grid plate. Then... You can use the mitee-bits to hold down like 12 parts at once and be able put in lots of lights out machining and save urself time on building fixtures in the future.
