Claims10
A vise comprising:
- a first jaw piece to comprise at least a first slip surface;
- a second jaw piece to comprise at least a second slip surface:
- a third jaw piece to comprise third slip surface, wherein the third slip surface is moveable with respect to the first slip surface while in slip contact with the first slip surface, and to comprise a fourth slip surface, wherein the fourth slip surface is movable with respect to second slip surface while in slip contact with the second slip surface:
- a left-right screw having threads at a first end to mate with the first jaw piece and threads at a second end to mate with the second jaw piece:
- and a first clamping member disposed on the third jaw piece to be in contact with a workpiece and a second clamping member disposed on a fourth jaw piece, wherein:
- the workpiece is secured between the first and second clamping members responsive to a force;
- the first jaw piece and second jaw piece are movable toward one another while the third slip surface is in slip contact with the first slip surface and while the fourth slip surface is in contact with the second slip surface in response to a torque applied to the left-right screw to at least in part apply the force against the workpiece;
- the first clamping member or the second clamping member, or a combination thereof, is movable to accommodate workpieces of different sizes.
