Swiveling Workholding and Positioning Bases
The attaching end swivels, tilts, and locks into place to position objects. These bases are often used on workbenches and at assembly stations.
Attaching end with unthreaded hole has a set screw to hold your work in place.

Tilting-Head Bench Vises
The head tilts, rotates, and locks in place to hold work at an angle.
Bolt-on with 2 1/2" jaw width vise can be mounted temporarily using a clamp-on base (sold separately).
Suction-mount vise attaches to smooth surfaces. Use the lever to engage and disengage the rubber suction pad.

Extra-Wide-Opening Tilting-Head Bench Vises
For large workpieces, these vises open three times as wide as standard tilting-head vises. The head tilts, rotates, and locks in place to hold your work at an angle. Vises have one smooth jaw and one grooved jaw for clamping flat, round, and uneven workpieces. The 5-lb. weighted base is heavy enough to keep the vise in place but light enough to be portable. For temporary mounting, add a clamp-on base (sold separately).
Vise with self-centering jaws has jaws that move at the same time to keep parts in the center of the vise.

Spring Clamp Workholders
Secure small parts in spring clamps to keep hands free for soldering, gluing, and assembly. The workholder’s arms are mounted to a base and adjust for positioning work at almost any angle.
Workholders that cannot be sold to Canada are restricted by local energy efficiency requirements.

Tilting-Head Circuit Board Vises
Position your circuit board at a comfortable angle when attaching components. These vises rotate, so you can access the back of your board.
Vises with soldering spool and soldering iron holders keep your material and tools nearby. The soldering spool holder feeds solder wire as your work. When you need to set down your hot iron, rest it in the holder instead of on your work surface.

Static-Control Circuit Board Vises
Rotate these vises to solder both the front and back of your circuit board while preventing static charges from damaging your components. Plastic jaws slowly drain static charges away, minimizing the buildup of electrostatic discharge (ESD). To make soldering components through the holes on your board easier, these vises have a positioning arm that holds your component. This allows you to rotate the board and solder on the opposite side without you needing to hold the component.

Ball-Lock Quick-Change Fixture Clamps
Build these components into fixture plates, machine subplates, and tombstones for quick changes. The system clamps and locates at the same time for accurate positioning with repeatability of ±0.0005". Components are compatible with Jergens Ball-Lock, Carr-Lane Carr Lock, and Kurt PinLock quick change systems.
For accurate positioning, at least two sets of clamps, liners, and receivers are required. Install the receivers in the base plate and the liners in the fixture plate. Then line up the two plates, insert the clamps, and tighten their screws to secure the fixture in place. If more holding capacity is needed, use additional clamps and receivers but omit liners to prevent the clamp from getting stuck in the fixture plate.
Push receiver plugs into unused receivers to prevent chips and coolant from accumulating during machining. When installed, plugs sit flush with the surface of the fixture plate. To remove, thread a screw into the tapped hole in the center and pull up.
