SYS-GRP BenchGrip Akros — FORG3D Edition

The BenchGrip Akros Set is built around one pod, the Harpyie Minimus, because narrow stock is its own problem: face frames, rails, and door stiles sit outside standard pod geometry, where a square pod gives point hold or overhangs thin material. Harpyie's elongated seal spans the length of the board instead. Like every BenchGrip FORG3D Edition set, Akros arrives resolved rather than as a parts list — four pods with the AnchorDogs, rail inserts, hardware, and tubing to run them, staged in a Systainer³ S 76. Build Your System BenchGrip Akros ships in one configuration: the narrow-stock set. It's the same Harpyie Minimus hold as the individual BenchGrip pods, curated to arrive complete in a Systainer³ S 76. FORG3D Edition — Akros Configuration Akros is built around the Harpyie Minimus, the elongated pod that holds narrow stock along its length. The set runs four pods with the AnchorDogs, rail inserts, and hardware to mount on dog holes or extrusion, and the whole kit deploys straight out of the case. (4) Harpyie Minimus Vacuum Pods (8) AnchorDogs — 20 mm (8) M6 Rail Inserts (1) SYS-FIT S 76 Akros fitout (1) FORG3D Edition Systainer³ S 76 (4) 1500 mm PU tubing lengths with required fittings M6 mounting hardware: (8) M6 × 16 mm for the rail inserts, (8) M6 × 25 mm for the AnchorDogs Key Features Narrow-stock hold: Four Harpyie Minimus pods hold face frames, rails, and stock down to 45 mm (1.75 in) wide, with no clamps in the cut path. Span, not point: The elongated sealing surface holds long, narrow stock along its length, so thin material stays stable without overhang. 96 mm MFT-native: Pods drop onto the standard 20 mm and 3/4 in dog-hole grid with no adapters; each Harpyie Minimus spans three holes (215 mm). Bench and rail hardware included: Eight AnchorDogs and eight M6 rail inserts cover dog-hole and extrusion mounting, with M6 × 16 mm bolts for the rail inserts and M6 × 25 mm for the AnchorDogs. Dual-orientation: Every pod works flat on the bench or vertically on a bench, cabinet, or fixture edge. Mobile, and exact: The S 76 Harpyie fitout gives every pod, insert, and fitting a fixed home, so the whole system travels as one case and each piece lands back in the same place — grab-and-go on the jobsite, repeatable on the bench. Compatibility / Notes Vacuum pump not included — compatible with budget vacuum pumps, VacuPress Compact 150 and larger, and Grabo Pro-Lifter / DeWalt Grabo (with the SYS-GRP Grabo Pro Adapter Kit) MFT-style benches on the 96 mm dog-hole pattern, in 20 mm or 3/4 in holes Built for face frames, rails, door stiles, and narrow stock down to 45 mm (1.75 in); Harpyie Minimus fits stock as short as 175 mm (6.875 in) Pairs with SYS-GRP AnchorDogs for combined mechanical clamping and vacuum hold For wider face frames and door components, the larger Harpyie Maximus pod is sold separately System Links Ships with a Systainer³ S 76 and the Harpyie fitout, available directly from FORG3D. Part of the SYS-GRP Workholding System. Runs the same pod as the SYS-GRP BenchGrip Harpyie Vacuum Pods: add Harpyie Minimus or Maximus pods to grow the set. Compare the curated sets: SYS-GRP BenchGrip — FORG3D Edition (Verso, Verso Dash, Max). FAQs How is Akros different from the Verso or Max sets? Akros is the narrow-stock configuration. Verso covers bench-and-rail versatility and Max biases to large-panel hold-down, both built on standard Minimus and Maximus pods. Akros runs four Harpyie Minimus pods instead: the elongated pod that holds face frames, rails, and stock down to 45 mm along its length, where a square pod only grabs a point. Do I need a vacuum pump? Yes. No pump is included. Akros works with budget continuous-duty pumps, VacuPress Compact 150 and larger, and Grabo Pro-Lifter / DeWalt Grabo with the SYS-GRP Grabo Pro Adapter Kit. What size stock does it hold? Each Harpyie Minimus pod spans three 96 mm dog holes (215 mm) and holds stock as narrow as 45 mm (1.75 in) and as short as 175 mm (6.875 in). For wider face frames or door components, the larger Harpyie Maximus pod is available separately. What bench does it need? An MFT-style bench on the standard 96 mm dog-hole pattern, in 20 mm or 3/4 in holes. The pods mount with no adapters, and the included rail inserts also fit MFT, Dash-Board PWS, Bench Dogs, and 15, 30, 40, and 45-series extrusion. Can I expand the set later? Yes. Harpyie Minimus and Maximus pods are sold individually and are interchangeable within the SYS-GRP system, and the S 76 Harpyie fitout keeps the set organized in transit and on the bench.
