5 axis pyramid vices

[newtoid1986]

Hi all,
We mainly machine small parts on our Hurco VM10Ui and would like utilise as much of the machine workspace as possible.
I’ve been looking at pyramid fixtures and three small vices from 5th Axis. They do a nice small fixture to fit our 200mm dia table. The trouble is that the slopes are 30 degrees.
With a tilt of -110 degrees you therefore cannot get to the face at the bottom of the pyramid slope. We would need -120 degrees of tilt.
What do you guys do?
Thanks in advance.

What's the swing on that table? Can it hold a 12.5" pyramid? We make one (not on our website) at a 15 degree slope.

Roll your own, it's not that hard.
