Modular Vacuum Chucks
Modular 8" x 12" Vacuum Chucks are a unique system that allows Vacuum Chuck Pallets to be combined and increase your vacuum workholding area as needed. Connect 2, 3, 4 or more Vacuum Chucks to increase the workspace. This allows for quick and flexible set up for prototypes and is excellent for high production workholding.Modular Vacuum Chucks can be used as a Vacuum Chuck using a Vacuum Pump, or use as a workholding Pallet with Workstops and Edge Clamps eliminating the need for custom fixturing. Purchase Modular Vacuum Chucks separately or as a complete Vacuum System with Modular Vacuum Chuck and either Portable Electric Vacuum Pump or Air Venturi Generator as the vacuum source.
Replaceable Top Plates are available for the Modular Vacuum Chucks and Systems. The Top Plate is secured to the surface of the Vacuum Chuck to protect the surface of the Vacuum Chuck when cutting through workpieces.

Countersink Depth Stop
Countersink Depth Stop
The CNC Countersink Depth Stop maintains precise countersink depth control on materials with tolerance variations.Spring compresses up to 0.375" to compensate for material variations. The depth of cut can be adjusted in 0.001" increments.
Tool shank fits into a standard 1/2" Collet or End Mill Holder.
Various size Collets can be used in the CNC Countersink Tool to hold Countersinks up to 5/8" (0.625" - 16mm). Use with 2L Solid Carbide Standard Countersinks or Countersinks with Pilots.
