Abstract
An improved sine vise that overcomes the deficiencies and limitations of conventional sine vises through the use of the following features: a circular sawtooth ratchet quick clamping system; a rotating dual jaw with one V cut depression face; a set of extended opening upper jaw lips; angle adjustment stays with counter rotating locking screws; a T shaped jaw clamping drawbar; a zero tolerance roll hinge; and a lipped vise base adapted for robust clamping to the cutting tool table with conventional T slot bolts and dogs.
Claims19
An improved vise comprising:
- a body having a top surface and a bottom surface and a central slot formed therethrough, and a fixed jaw formed thereon said top surface;
- a moveable jaw with an axial orifice formed therethrough;
- and
- a ratchet drawbar having a proximate end and a distal end;
- wherein said proximate end engages said moveable jaw, said ratchet drawbar passes through both said axial orifice and said central slot, and said distal end engages said bottom surface of said body so as to slidingly connect said moveable jaw to said body.
The improved vise of claim 17 wherein said gauge roll is a precision ground cylindrical bar with at least one shaft therethrough adapted to receive a mechanical fastener for attachment to said body.
