The GRS® BenchMate® Encore® QCX Basic Kit is a professional-grade workholding solution tailored for jewelers, engravers, and precision artisans. This innovative system offers unmatched control, flexibility, and comfort, making it the ideal upgrade for serious bench jewelers.

The Encore QCX system delivers the widest range of motion of any hands-free tool in its class. With two threaded collar rings, you can quickly adjust the height of the mandrel while keeping your work centered under a microscope. This allows seamless transitions between tasks like engraving, stone setting, saw piercing, and soldering without losing focus or efficiency.

What sets the QCX version apart is its Quick Change (QC) system, which allows you to switch out accessories in seconds—no additional tools required. The redesigned support arm rotates 90 degrees, offering expanded mobility and ergonomic control, while the low-profile handrest supports either side for right- or left-handed use.

Crafted from robust steel, the BenchMate QCX holds even the smallest jewelry components firmly in place, ensuring high precision during intricate tasks. It’s a must-have tool for maximizing productivity and reducing fatigue during long bench sessions.
