GRS Standard Vise Shelf for BenchMate® System | MicroBlock & Standard Block | 004-578
GRS Standard Vise Shelf – Secure Workholding Support for Engraving Blocks & Ball Vises
The GRS Standard Vise Shelf (004-578) provides a stable, ergonomic mounting platform for GRS engraving blocks and vises, allowing jewelers and engravers to position their work at the ideal height for precision tasks. Designed to attach to the GRS Fixed Mounting Plate (004-557), this shelf places your vise or engraving block below the front edge of your bench while keeping the work surface aligned with your bench pin for improved comfort and control.
The Standard Vise Shelf is especially popular with professionals using microscopes because it helps reposition the center of rotation of the workpiece for better viewing and more comfortable hand positioning. It is recommended for use with the GRS Standard Block, MicroBlock, and MicroBlock XL workholding systems.
Built for the demands of professional engraving, jewelry fabrication, and stone setting, the GRS Standard Vise Shelf creates a secure, organized workstation that improves workflow while reducing unnecessary movement and bench clutter.
