Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a tailstock?
No. The RotoVise Pro's rugged construction holds parts close to the face of the rotary unit, eliminating the need for a tailstock in most applications. This keeps your X and Y travels fully available.
What materials can I machine?
The RotoVise Pro handles aluminum, steel, stainless, titanium, and most other machinable materials. The hardened steel jaws and ductile cast iron body provide excellent rigidity for aggressive cuts.
What types of rotary tables can it adapt to?
The adapter plate is compatible with 4 and 6 t-slot patterns and 96mm receiver standards. Custom adapter plates can be made for other configurations.
What is the clamping force?
5,000 lbs per jaw. With two jaws engaged, you have 10,000 lbs total clamping force — more than adequate for aggressive 4th axis machining.
How tight should I clamp?
Clamp to the manufacturer's specified torque of 45 foot-lbs maximum. Over-clamping can damage the lead screw and jaws.
