    Sine Vises

    Lift the end of these sine vises by placing gauge blocks underneath—they hold tools and workpieces at precise angles for grinding, cutting, and inspecting. To determine how high to raise the end, multiply the sine of your desired angle by the distance between the vise’s dowels, which is the hypotenuse. They have a locking bar you tighten with a 5/32" hex key (not included) to secure the angle. Mount them to your work surface, or when you need to cut material on a compound angle, to a sine plate.
    To grip workpieces—even small round parts such as pins and dowels—these sine vises have a jaw with horizontal and vertical V-shaped grooves. Adjust the jaw to workpieces of different sizes by loosening its screw with a 1/4" hex key (not included), sliding the jaw into position, and tightening the screw for a firm grip.

    Drill-Press Vises

    Turn the handle to move the jaw on these basic vises. They mount directly to your drill press for drilling, tapping, and reaming applications. Vises have one smooth jaw and one grooved jaw for clamping flat, round, and uneven workpieces. The open base allows you to drill through your workpiece without hitting the bottom of the vise.

    Bench Vises for Dremel

    Free up a hand while using your Dremel on a workpiece. You can use these vises in three different ways: hold your Dremel to make it a stationary tool, secure your workpiece in the vise, or remove the clamp and use it on its own. These vises rotate 360° and tilt, so you can work on your project from any angle.

    Ultra-Precision Machine Vises

    Designed for precision grinding and inspection, the construction of these vises ensures workpieces are held perfectly square. To move the jaw, remove the screw using a 1/4" hex key (not included) and manually slide the jaw into position. Then replace the screw and tighten to firmly grip the workpiece. The base and three sides of the vise are ground flat to a parallel tolerance of 0.0002", enabling mounting on its base, either side, or upright. Mount through the base with screws or use setup clamps (not included). Vises can be used on Bridgeport-style milling machines as well as drill presses and surface grinders. They are also known as toolmakers’ vises.

    Static-Control Circuit Board Vises

    Rotate these vises to solder both the front and back of your circuit board while preventing static charges from damaging your components. Plastic jaws slowly drain static charges away, minimizing the buildup of electrostatic discharge (ESD). To make soldering components through the holes on your board easier, these vises have a positioning arm that holds your component. This allows you to rotate the board and solder on the opposite side without you needing to hold the component.

    Extra-Wide-Opening Tilting-Head Bench Vises

    For large workpieces, these vises open three times as wide as industrial tilting-head vises. The head tilts, rotates, and locks in place to hold your work at an angle. Vises have one smooth jaw and one grooved jaw for clamping flat, round, and uneven workpieces. The 5-lb. weighted base is heavy enough to keep the vise in place but light enough to be portable. For temporary mounting, add a clamp-on base (sold separately).
