The indexable soft jaw can be machined to be used for multiple jobs
jaw knuckles are made of 7075-T6 aluminum and also hard-coated for superior durability and strength
High-grade aluminum body combined with an alloy steel cover plate are much more durable than a heavier all-steel body vise
The precision ground alloy steel cover plate is bolted to aluminum base, providing a precise surface for locating. The steel cover plate adds strength to the base and seals he internal drive mechanism, while the aluminum base provides dampening the machining vibration effect to the combined system
Unique main drive mechanism allows clamping on different sized work pieces between front and rear jaws. Since the rear jaw always closes first, the rear-to-front loading process eliminates he need to reach over sharp or large work pieces
A pair of ground and hardened dowel pins on each movable jaw engages with the guided way on the jaw knuckle at a 45 degree angle to prevent jaw deflection and also extends the usage life of soft jaws
The offset mechanism allows operator to change the back-off distance (3-5mm)of the front jaw from the front of the vise by using a hex wrench

Completely enclosed body design improves rigidity, accuracy and repeatability
The bottom of he base has 4 steel bushed location holes (12mm) for dowel pins to gain quick and easy alignment and reduce setup time. There are 4 more through holes (9mm) to allow compact mounting configuration and optimize table space. This versatile mounting configuration is ideal for mounting on tombstones, on horizontal machining centers, and on rotary indexers on a vertical mill
