Are you looking for professional tools for secure workholding? At Aktiv Guld, you’ll find the well-known BenchMate system, designed for professional goldsmiths, jewelry designers and engravers. Our range includes both QCX and QC models, as well as customised accessory packages from GRS – known for durability, precision and ergonomic design.
Whether you work with stone setting, engraving or other precision tasks, the BenchMate system gives you full control over your workpieces while freeing your hands for the actual work.
BenchMate Encore QCX and QC are designed to maximise freedom of movement and ensure your workpieces are always held securely. The innovative construction makes it possible to centre the piece under the microscope and adjust it quickly without losing control.
BenchMate Encore QC and QCX primarily differ in movement and efficiency. QCX is the most advanced model and is optimised for use under the microscope. It features a fully rotatable and tiltable head, making it easy to centre and adjust your workpiece with maximum control. QC offers the same stable workholding but without QCX’s extended movement features, making it ideal for general precision work without a microscope or complex angles.
In short: QCX provides maximum flexibility and efficiency, while QC is a solid and cost-effective choice for standard tasks.
All BenchMate systems and accessories we offer are carefully selected for high quality, durability and precision.
BenchMate is available as a Basic Package or a Stone Setter's Package, so you can choose the solution that best fits your needs:
The Basic Package is ideal if you want a flexible and stable workholding solution for general precision work. It includes the BenchMate clamp with accessory plate and a complete accessory set with plastic trays, keys and mounting screws. The design provides maximum freedom of movement, and the clamp can be inserted and secured quickly without extra tools. The hand rest can be positioned on either side, making the system suitable for both right- and left-handed users.
The Stone Setter’s Package is tailored for those working with stone setting. In addition to the BenchMate clamp and accessory plate, this package includes horizontal and vertical ID ring holders and a file clamp set that allows precise positioning and holding of rings during work. The package also includes an accessory set with plastic trays, keys and mounting screws. Like the Basic Package, it ensures full control and maximum freedom of movement during work.
Both packages provide a professional solution combining stable workholding with ergonomic design, flexibility and compatibility with other GRS tools, making BenchMate an indispensable tool in any modern jewelry workshop.
In addition to BenchMate, we offer a wide selection of engraving blocks, ideal for detailed work on small pieces. The blocks act as stable, hands-free holders, allowing secure positioning while providing full control over rotation and placement. They are particularly suitable for engraving, stone setting and other precision tasks where flexibility and freedom of movement are essential.
