5th Axis DC1750-B | Dovetail Cutter Insert

Locating / Stop Pin For Accuracy

A precision locating pin ensures the stock is centered in the fixture while ensuring the stock cannot be forced out of the fixture during machining.

The locating pin also provides high repeatability for in process inspection / movement from machine to machine.

Mechanically Locked

All 5th Axis products utilize a 45 degree dovetail angle.

Dovetails provide equal in and down force, meaning your parts are held more stable than any other workholding method.

Minimal torque is required. If you need compact workholding with high repeatability and ultimate precision, then you need to use dovetail workholding.

Efficient Material Use

Dovetailing reduces the amount of material you need to purchase via traditional clamping methods.

Not only do you waste less of your stock, but dovetailing also reduces part deformation due to excessive torque; dovetails spread clamping force more evenly through the part and use down-force instead of lateral pressure.
