Palletized Workholding vs. Traditional Workholding - What’s The Difference?

Automation and Efficiency in the Workshop
Let’s start with the basics of machining first: the most difficult thing to do in machining is to hold on to the thing that you’re working on. Traditional workholding methods take far too much time, so we use palletized - or zero-point - workholding to optimize our efficiency in the workshop. With palletized workholding, we can switch out fixtures as we need without the massive amount of setup time that the traditional method requires.
Simply put, palletized workholding allows us to build beautiful watches without much setup or preparation time on our end. Efficiency matters in the workshop, and palletized workholding allows us to reduce the most time-consuming part of the entire process. Someday, we may even have a robot place the pallets in the machine for us, so the machining never has to stop!
We’re Building a Watch Company with Custer + Wolfe and giving you an inside look into what it takes to manufacture and build mechanical watches in America. We want to bring you along on all the successes, failures, innovations, and inventions that go into American manufacturing and watchmaking. Follow along as we restore vintage pocket watch movements and give them new life with Vortic Watch Co., and as we build a brand new watch company from scratch, focused on making high-quality American-machined watches.

FYI. You spelled "vises" incorrectly on your intro screen graphic.

[@CusterWolfe]

Is that so? Or is "vice" like aluminium; correct in 98% of English-speaking countries but consistently and confidently misspelled by Americans? Or perhaps we did it to get you to comment on our video... You'll never know!
