AxiGlide: Next-gen Pivoting Vise for Smooth, Precise Control
Ordinary clamping tools can interrupt your workflow. Every angle change forces you to stop, adjust, and reset. AxiGlide is built to set you free.
Free from interruptions — no more instability, loosening, adjusting, and relocking. Free to create exactly where you want — at any angle, in any direction.
Meet your dual-axis creative “third hand” — designed for those who value precision, control, and the pursuit of exceptional craftsmanship.
Tilt, rotate, lock. All in one continuous motion — so your workflow gets no interruptions, and your focus stays on the work, not the tool.
Turntable
Mounted on a turntable with continuous 360° rotation, the vise lets you freely position your workpiece at any angle for easy access. Smooth, stable, with no hesitation.
Tilt base
Mounted on a 90°-tilt base, the turntable moves seamlessly from horizontal to nearly vertical orientation, unlocking full orientation freedom. AxiGlide vise gives you precise access to the workpiece from any angle.
Every angle, reached without hassle.
AxiGlide lets you move seamlessly from horizontal to vertical and position your workpiece's orientation exactly as you envision it — instantly and stably.
No more compromising your posture, no more constant recalibration, and no more losing focus just to “find the angle.”
With a gentle push, your work glides naturally to a new mode. No lag, no overshoot — every response is clean and immediate.
Mode selection is controlled by a three-position switch with spring-loaded detents. A light flick is all it takes — it smoothly snaps into the next mode, making blind operation effortless and intuitive.
Free-spin Mode
Let the vise flow with your touch.
The tilt base houses a precision-machined spindle for the turntable. It allows you to rotate the vise steadily without any restrictions — no directional limits, no angular constraints — delivering complete freedom for hands-on creation.
Just gently spin your workpiece at a fixed tilt angle, making AxiGlide a responsive rotary platform — ideal for drawing smooth curves, wrapping, winding, or any continuous motion that benefits from fluid rotation.
Set AxiGlide to a comfortable working incline and secure your workpiece, then rotate it freely back and forth to explore any angle.
Whether you’re painting, carving, assembling, or simply inspecting details from different perspectives, the free mode gives you uninterrupted access to every orientation.
Full-lock Mode
When fully locked, AxiGlide transforms into a fixed vise system, creating a solid, single-position hold, delivering rock-solid stability for demanding tasks.
The system can be oriented freely before locking. So it gets a way to “freeze” any chosen angle. Whether it’s an angled drilling, an off-axis assembly, or a precise carving, AxiGlide enables you to secure the workpiece at the position that best matches the task at hand, with uncompromising strength and confidence.
Indexed Precision Mode
Beneath the turntable sits a 60-position indexed disc, dividing the full rotation into precise 6° increments, and engaging with a spring-loaded column.
When the switch is set to the half-locked state, AxiGlide creates consistent tactile detents as you turn it. Each click corresponds to an exact angular step, delivering mechanical precision through touch rather than visual alignment.
Each subtle click guides your movement. Instead of constantly checking the scale indicators, you can rely on tactile feedback to navigate exact increments. Precision is no longer something you calculate — it’s something you feel, especially in tasks that require repeating orientations, segmentation, symmetry, or mirrored alignment.
The half-lock can also serve as a damping support for the turntable. This makes your every adjustment feel controlled — no sudden drops, no jerky motion, and no repeating need to loosen or tighten the locks as ball joints do.
Also, the tilt axis is equipped with a preloaded brake that applies consistent pressure to the tilt shaft, providing smooth, controlled resistance throughout the tilt motion range.
The damping support on both axes makes AxiGlide a reliable third hand to hold something top-heavy while maintaining flexibility. Just steady, confident position exactly where you need it, and it stays there when your hand is off.
No loosening, adjusting, and re-locking; no interruptions in your workflow. Just focus on the minutest details of your workpiece at any critical angle, especially when your hands are occupied with other tools.
Quick-lock
The essence of freedom is not just mobility, but mastery. If you need to lock the angle beyond for rigidity, adjusting and locking is a breeze — no hassle, no delay.

When angles can be established quickly and accurately, creation no longer demands constant interruption. Your work can then transition naturally across multiple surfaces and remain perfectly stable.
You need an angle — it arrives. You need stability — it holds. You need a micro-adjustment — it responds.
No extra steps. No mental overhead. The tool is no longer a "step" in your process; it is an extension of your movement.
When control becomes this reliable, even the most complex workflows become simple.
Perspective, Back to Nature
Creating often means hours of focused work — and the last thing you need is soreness from constant adjustments or awkward positions. And that’s what AxiGlide is designed to solve. Oftentimes, the problem isn’t your hands — it’s the angle.
With a 90° tilt adjustment, your work is always positioned in the most natural, clearest line of sight. No more hunching over, no more twisting your wrists. When your body returns to a state of comfort, your control becomes inherently more precise.
👀Discover Angles You Didn’t Know Existed.
AxiGlide gives you complete freedom to explore and refine your work from every perspective. Just like in photography, where light and angle matter more than the gear itself, positioning defines the result.
With full 360° rotation and 90° tilt, you gain access to endless possibilities — until you find the one that reveals your work at its best.
In-depth reviews of AxiGlide

Even the pin jaws can be adjusted and reconfigured to better match the shape and needs of your workpiece. It’s not just about movement—it’s about giving you the freedom to create in the way that feels most natural to you.
Equipped with standard pin jaws for precision tasks, and expandable through quick-swap add-ons, it evolves to handle virtually any shape — seen or imagined.
The swappable jaws adapt to different materials and shapes:
- Parallel jaws for flat surfaces
- Fractal jaws for irregular objects
- Aluminum material for hard metal parts
- PEEK panels for delicate parts
With a modular jaw system and possible future expandability, AxiGlide evolves with your projects — giving you one system that can serve many creative disciplines, at any angle.
Less Operation | More Immersion
AxiGlide simply removes the unnecessary steps. When repetition vanishes, when second-guessing fades, and when the workflow becomes fluid — you will feel it: you enter "the zone" faster, stay there longer, and reach a deeper level of focus.
Only when the tool stops interrupting you do you truly begin to create — and truly enjoy the pure pleasure of every creation.
🚀 Time to Upgrade Your Workflow
If you own a vise, you already understand the value of a stable helping hand. But once you experience smoother movement, faster repositioning, and better angles, it becomes clear how much traditional vises have been holding you back.
AxiGlide is more than a replacement—it’s a meaningful upgrade to the way you create.
Reward Tiers
AxiGlide is now available in two versions: Standard and Precision. Both versions share the same material types, use scenarios, jaw options, core machining processes, and overall build quality. The differences mainly come down to several specific upgrades, which are explained in our first update.
Specifications
The AxiGlide body is made from 6061 aluminum alloy, while key load-bearing and motion-critical components are made from 410 stainless steel.
This combination is carefully selected to balance structural strength, functional performance, weight, and, most importantly, manufacturing cost, ensuring the design is not only well-conceived, but also practical to manufacture and faithfully deliver in its intended form.
