We recently introduced the Speed Change Pallet System (SCPS) to our lineup of workholding products. The SCPS is a ground-up redesign of our best selling Pallet Retention System (PRS). At first glance you’ll notice a few obvious cosmetic changes but here is a quick list of the top 10 improvements:
- Wider Base – The best selling PRS Pallets were always the 8″ wide sizes. We’d sell them 10:1 over the 6″ sizes and 5:1 over the 10″ sizes. Naturally, we engineered the Base to use the more popular 8″ and 10″ pallets only.
- Cast Iron Core – Cast iron is a great material for workholding devices (tough, thermally stable, dampens vibration), but using it from tool to table is overkill (weight, corrosion exposure, higher Read the rest of this entry »

For some reason the industry has followed the same old distribution pattern – make a product, sell it to manufacturer reps, sell it to distributors, sell it to the end user. The entire time every one of those middlemen are taking a little (or a lot) off the top. By the time the product gets into the hands of the user its price has been artificially inflated beyond its actual value. On the service side of things, the application knowledge of the product gets diminished each time it is handed down until you finally have an order taker at a distribution house trying to BS his way through application advice.

Well, not really free. But the soft jaws drawing is free!
A customer recently asked me what the motivation was for giving out a free drawing for a great workholding idea. My simple answer – you just can’t make enough money selling soft jaws. Add in shipping, labor, packaging and no one wants to pay $25 for a set of jaws that they could make themselves. I consider this one as “giving back to the community”.
I sincerely hope my soft jaw design starts popping up in metal shop classrooms and trade schools everywhere. It would delight me to see how they are being used to build the future. Click this link to get them –> Soft Jaws
