Sine Vises
Lift the end of these sine vises by placing gauge blocks underneath—they hold tools and workpieces at precise angles for grinding, cutting, and inspecting. To determine how high to raise the end, multiply the sine of your desired angle by the distance between the vise’s dowels, which is the hypotenuse. They have a locking bar you tighten with a 5/32" hex key (not included) to secure the angle. Mount them to your work surface, or when you need to cut material on a compound angle, to a sine plate.
To grip workpieces—even small round parts such as pins and dowels—these sine vises have a jaw with horizontal and vertical V-shaped grooves. Adjust the jaw to workpieces of different sizes by loosening its screw with a 1/4" hex key (not included), sliding the jaw into position, and tightening the screw for a firm grip.
