Workholding Tools
Workholding tools are machines used to hold products, especially geometrically uniquely shaped products, in a fixed position during the machining process. Workholding tools are essential in many industrial applications and specifically in milling operations. Soft and hard jaws, vises, end stops, power clamps, and toggle clamps are the most used work-holding tools.

What are Workholding Tools
Workholding tools are designed to hold and secure workpieces in a fixed position during the machining process. Workholding tools are crucial components of any machining process and can significantly affect the quality and consistency of the machined parts.
Types of Workholding Tools
Workholding tools can be divided into two main categories: manual and automated. Manual workholding tools are used to hold the workpiece in a specific position, while automated workholding devices hold the workpiece in place while machining is performed.
Manual workholding tools and devices provide an effective and efficient way to hold and position the workpiece for machining operations securely. The most common manual workholding tools are jigs, vices, clamps, fixtures, and chucks. These tools and devices help to ensure that the workpiece is securely held, positioned, and machined accurately.
Automated workholding tools, such as robotics and CNC machines, offer more precise and repeatable results than manual workholding tools and devices. Automated workholding systems can accurately position and secure the workpiece while machining operations are performed. Automated workholding systems can also be programmed to repeat the same sequence of operations multiple times, providing a consistent and repeatable machining process.
