How I Clamp Small Parts with This Fixture Setup!

Ever had a fixture design completely flop on you? Cory’s been there! In this video, Cory dives into the challenges he faced while machining the Piranha utility blade in titanium. The traditional mitee-bite setup just wasn’t cutting it, so he had to get creative with a custom mini soft jaw design. ️

Cory will show you how he redesigned the fixture to handle these small, tricky parts and why he chose Grade 2 titanium over Grade 5 for easier machining. Plus, he’s sharing some tips for anyone struggling with tiny tooling and fixturing issues.

Let Cory know in the comments what’s your experience with machining titanium? Do you prefer Grade 2 or Grade 5? He’d love to hear your thoughts!
