<p>A universal vise (10, 210) that has a movable (20, 120, 220) and a fixed (40, 244) jaw that can be indexed at 90° increments to provide for separate work clamping surfaces on each jaw. The vise (10, 210) includes a vise screw (24, 124, 224) driving a nut (22, 122, 222) that drives the movable jaw (20, 120, 220) in each of four indexed positions of the movable jaw (20, 120, 220). The nut (22, 222) provides a down pressure load on the movable jaw (20, 120, 220) with a very low profile. The indexable jaws (22, 122, 220) permit the vise (10, 210) to be adapted to hold different types of products or workpieces. The movable jaw (20, 120, 220) is held on the nut (22, 122, 222) with a detent latch (54, 157, 252) that permits rotating or indexing the movable jaw (20, 120, 220) to different positions when desired.</p> |
