Rotating mill vise jaws

Abstract

Rotating vise jaws comprising first, second, third, and forth elements used with a milling machine vise to hold objects having either parallel or nonparallel edges. Wherein, said first element consists of a vertical axis tool post adapted to fit either a movable or stationary wall disposed at a milling machine vise. Said vertical axis tool post disposes a cylindrical shaft defining a vertical axis for cooperating with said second element comprising a vertical axis vise jaw having beveled side walls and a correlative through hole for cooperating with said vertical axis. Thus, said vertical axis tool post is attached to a milling machine vise and said vertical axis vise jaw is connected to said vertical axis, thereby providing a self-aligning vise jaw with a reversible clamping face; wherein said vise jaw is rotatable about a vertical axis for holding objects having either parallel or nonparallel edges. Wherein, said third element consists of a horizontal axis tool post having a correlative through hole for connecting said horizontal axis tool post to said vertical axis. said horizontal axis tool post disposes a cylindrical shaft defining a horizontal axis for cooperating with said forth element comprising a horizontal axis vise jaw having beveled side walls and a correlative through hole for cooperating with said horizontal axis. Thus, said vertical axis tool post is attached to a milling machine vise, said horizontal axis tool post is connected to said vertical axis, said horizontal axis vise jaw is connected to said horizontal axis, thereby providing a self-aligning vise jaw with a reversible clamping face, wherein said vise jaw is rotatable about a horizontal axis for holding objects having either parallel or nonparallel edges.
