GRS 004-845 BenchMate Retrofit Kit

The GRS 004-845 BenchMate Retrofit Kit is the solution for jewelers and engravers who own a first-generation GRS BenchMate and want to take advantage of the expanded accessory lineup designed for the current GRS Encore BenchMate platform. First-generation BenchMates were in production for more than 30 years, meaning a large number of these units are still in active use at benches worldwide. This kit bridges the gap between the original design and the modern Encore accessory ecosystem introduced in late 2015.

The retrofit kit includes a new main body and the new-style ring fixture, giving your original BenchMate the updated mounting interface needed to accept the full range of current Encore accessories without requiring the purchase of an entirely new BenchMate unit.
