Talon Grip Vise Jaw Inserts:
Double-sided serrated inserts for aggressive holding of raw stock. The serrated edge enhances grip strength (includes 2 inserts and 2 screws). -

Although the serrated inserts are intended for raw stock, they may be used on finished surfaces if light clamping pressure is applied and only light machining or engraving is performed.
Mill Collet Set
Sherline milling collets are specifically designed for use with the Morse #1 internal taper, which is standard on both the Sherline lathe and vertical mill. Due to the shallow angle of the Morse #1 taper, tightening the drawbolt results in significantly greater clamping force compared to WW collets. For this reason, we recommend using these milling collets to securely hold miniature end mills (with 3/16" or 1/4" shanks), #1 and smaller center drills, Dremel® bits (1/8" shank), and a variety of other small cutters.
Inch Mill Collet Set: 1/8", 3/16", 1/4"
Metric Mill Collet Set: 3 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm
Note: Tools held in these collets must have a shank diameter within .001" of the stated size. Because of the shallow taper, the collet will remain tight in the spindle even after loosening the drawbolt. To release it, back the drawbolt out a few turns and tap it lightly to free the collet.
⚠️ CAUTION: When tightening the collet drawbolt with a Tommy bar, be careful not to insert the bar too far into the spindle. Doing so can damage the collet’s taper area. The red arrow in the image below shows an example of this type of damage.

Sherline MB Vise Fixture
The Sherline MB Vise Fixture is designed to locate directly in the T-slots of our mill tables and tooling plates. By aligning the fixed and movable jaws in the T-slots, your mill table or tooling plate becomes the base for the fixture - maximizing usable table length. This setup allows you to securely hold and machine much larger or irregularly shaped parts than traditional vises can accommodate.
Workholding Versatility
The MB Vise Fixture supports a wide range of part shapes through the use of two different sets of interchangeable top jaws:
For square and rectangular stock use the standard top jaws with either:
For round or irregularly shaped material:
Use the MB Versagrip Top Jaws, which fit the same fixed and movable base plates. These jaws accept the MB Versagrip Vise Jaw Inserts by Mitee-Bite. The ¾" round inserts can be rotated within any insert pocket to match and grip a wide variety of part geometries securely.
