20130087963MACHINE VISE PARALLEL WITH ANGLED EDGES - A work orienting plate or angled vise parallel for use with a machine vise and which angled plate has first, second and third reference edges with the second and third reference edges being spaced apart side edges that are perpendicular to the first edge. Angled work piece support edges join the second and third reference edges, respectively. The angled work piece support edges are at different angles from one another so that a work piece can be supported on any one of the edges relative to a reference surface of a vise on which the work orienting plate is mounted to position the work piece at selected angles for machining angled surfaces.04-11-2013
20130277903Precision Vise Jaw Plates - A vise jaw plate includes a plurality of equally sized holes arranged in a pattern and extending through a front side of the vise jaw plate which cooperate with dowel pins and work holders to position and support a work piece. Horizontally spaced mounting bores are arranged for cooperative alignment with vise jaw mounting holes to permit the attachment of the vise jaw plate to the vise jaw. The mounting bores include a first frustoconical portion, a second frustoconical portion and a straight bore portion joining the confronting narrow ends of the first and second frustoconcial portions. The mounting bores and the vise jaw mounting holes have offset center-lines that become coaxially aligned during attachment of the vise jaw plate to the vise jaw causing the vise jaw plate to become fully seated against a deck surface of the vise.10-24-2013
20140284862JAWS AND ADAPTER ASSEMBLY FOR A MACHINING SYSTEM - A jaws apparatus and method for using the jaws apparatus within a vise is described herein. A jaws apparatus may include a fixed jaw secured to the vise through an adapter. The adapter may have an adapter contact face and the fixed jaw may have a jaw contact face in slidable engagement with the adapter contact face. The adapter contact face may be comprised of a first physical material and the jaw contact face comprised of a second physical material. The first physical material and the second physical material may have substantially similar mechanical properties. The jaws apparatus may further include a movable jaw secured to a movable portion of the vise.09-25-2014
20140306394Machine vice quick locking system - A machine vice quick locking system being a machine vice unit with modified mounting blocks, each having a plurality of vertically inclined continuous hole spaces with the mid-space portion of each hole space being amenable to receipt of the nut portions of a plate-bolt-nut complex unit serving to quickly facilitate a locking fast of either one and ultimately both of a pair of equivalently sized jawplates to either of the anterior or posterior walls of either modified mounting block portion of the machine vice unit with each jawplate featuring a pair of horizontally inclined counterbored holes for receipt by each, of one bolt portion of each complex unit.10-16-2014
20150014911VISE JAW INSERT SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME - A vise jaw insert system adapted to be mounted on a vise jaw including a plurality of attachment members, each attachment member having a head portion and a threaded portion, and a jaw insert member having a first workable surface and an opposing second workable surface, wherein the jaw insert member includes an insertion hole having a first cross-section shape and a different second cross-section shape extending from the first workable surface to the second workable surface.01-15-2015

20100181714Vice Jaw System for Clamping Machinable Work-pieces - A gripping element comprises a generally cylindrical grip body having a top and a center hole disposed on the grip body and arranged to pass generally through a centerline of the body and being disposed generally perpendicular to and extending downwards from the top. The grip body further includes two gripping edges, each located opposite the other arranged on the top. Each gripping edge, in turn, adapts to penetrate a linear portion of the work-piece without requiring a preparation operation on the work-piece. Each gripping edge comprises a pair of teeth. Each tooth being defined by the second a top edge and an oppositely disposed fin tapering from the top edge toward the grip body, the fin intersecting with an outward taper feature and the taper feature terminating on a shoulder disposed on the grip body.07-22-2010
