A vise assembly and a method for clamping a workpiece comprises a base. A pair of side walls extend from the base and have guideways. A pair of spaced apart jaw assemblies is disposed on the base, each jaw assembly being movable on the base. Each jaw assembly comprises a jaw support supporting a jaw nut on an elongated member. The elongated member is disposed between and parallel to the guideways. At least one jaw nut of one of the first and second jaw assemblies is adjustably fixable to the elongated member so as to define a first distance between the jaw assemblies. Each jaw support can be slidable on the elongated member. A drive member is coupled to each of the jaw supports and is configured to pull the jaw supports toward each other and decrease a spacing between the jaw assemblies so as to be less than the first distance.
