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).

Self-Centering Jaws—Vise with self-centering jaws has jaws that move at the same time to keep parts in the center of the vise.

Ball-Lock Quick-Change Fixture Clamps

Build these components into fixture plates, machine subplates, and tombstones for quick changes. The system clamps and locates at the same time for accurate positioning with repeatability of ±0.0005". Components are compatible with Jergens Ball-Lock, Carr-Lane Carr Lock, and Kurt PinLock quick change systems.

For accurate positioning, at least two sets of clamps, liners, and receivers are required. Install the receivers in the base plate and the liners in the fixture plate. Then line up the two plates, insert the clamps, and tighten their screws to secure the fixture in place. If more holding capacity is needed, use additional clamps and receivers but omit liners to prevent the clamp from getting stuck in the fixture plate.

Receiver Plugs

Push receiver plugs into unused receivers to prevent chips and coolant from accumulating during machining. When installed, plugs sit flush with the surface of the fixture plate. To remove, thread a screw into the tapped hole in the center and pull up.

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.
