GRS Slide & Lock Tru-Axis | Microscope-Compatible Adjustable Workholding Fixture
The GRS Slide & Lock Tru-Axis (004-759) is a precision height-adjustable workholding system designed specifically for jewelers, engravers, and stone setters who work under a microscope. Engineered to maintain a consistent working height while allowing independent vertical adjustment, the Tru-Axis provides exceptional ergonomic control and faster workflow during detailed bench operations.
The Tru-Axis design allows the workholding platform to travel up to 4 inches vertically without interfering with the microscope, making it ideal for microscope-assisted engraving, stone setting, and fine jewelry fabrication. By simply releasing the brass handle, users can quickly reposition their workpiece height and lock it securely into place.
Compatible with accessories that attach to the GRS Fixed Mounting Plate (#004-557), the Slide & Lock Tru-Axis works with GRS BenchMate® systems, Block Shelves, Bench Pins, Multi-Purpose Vises, and other compatible GRS workholding accessories.

Why Choose the GRS Slide & Lock Tru-Axis?
Microscope users often need precise height control without constantly adjusting their microscope position. The GRS Slide & Lock Tru-Axis solves this challenge by separating workpiece height adjustment from the microscope setup, allowing jewelers to maintain a comfortable viewing position while quickly repositioning their work.
This results in improved ergonomics, reduced fatigue, and greater efficiency during complex engraving, setting, and fabrication tasks.
