Abstract
The vice device includes a vice holder 24 composed of two side parts connected together at a given angle and, in these two side parts of the vice holder 24, there are respectively formed two holes 24a, 24b which extend at right angles to their associated side parts. By selectively switching these holes 24a, 24b over to each other, the pressing direction of a vice plate 26 can be changed.
