Allyn Tool Co approached DXM Design Works in need of a replacement component for a vise that had broken in routine use. DXM Design works evaluated the geometry and key features of the broken component to fabricate a suitable replacement out of a higher-grade material, allowing Allyn Tool to keep their process-critical tooling in operation.

All critical geometry matches the original component

The replacement nut was machined from a high-tensile hot rolled steel to improve strength and wear characteristics
