40 mm Coin Vise

This is a 40 mm coin vise designed for accurate 2-sided coin milling on Makera Carvera CNC machines.

The vise securely holds 35–40 mm coin blanks while keeping the top and bottom faces accessible for machining. Its registration features allow the vise to be located consistently on the CNC bed so the coin can be flipped for the second side while maintaining accurate alignment.

The vise is designed to be secured using standard push style side or edge clamps clamps, making setup simple without requiring a dedicated fixture plate. See my listing for edge clamps (for coin vise use longer version edge clamps available in listing.

Whether you're machining challenge coins, medallions, tokens, or other small round parts, this fixture provides a repeatable way to hold the blank and maintain registration between Side A and Side B.

🔧 Machining the Vise

Tool Used:
3.175 × 12 mm For Metal

Material Used:
The vise can be machined from a single 100×100×5mm aluminum plate using the following setup.

🪙 Using the Vise

Mount the vise to the CNC bed using its registration and mounting features.

Place the 35–40 mm coin blank into the pocketed jaws and tighten the vise securely.

Machine the first side of the coin, remove and flip the coin, then reinstall it into the same registered position for Side B.

The vise and bed registration are designed to minimize movement between setups so the artwork on both sides remains properly aligned.
