The GRS BenchMate Encore® Pitch Cup (004-714) provides jewelers, engravers, and stone setters with a versatile way to securely hold small, delicate, or irregularly shaped workpieces using heated pitch. Designed for the GRS BenchMate Encore® system, this precision accessory transforms your setup into an efficient pitch-based workholding solution for detailed bench work. When heated, pitch softens and allows your workpiece to be positioned securely inside the cup. As the pitch cools, it hardens to create a stable hold, making it ideal for engraving, stone setting, and other precision operations where reliable support is essential. The BenchMate Encore® Pitch Cup is an excellent choice for professionals who need a flexible holding method for small components, curved pieces, and intricate jewelry projects. It can be used with or without a microscope and integrates easily into a professional engraving bench setup.
