Modular Vise System Gen2 (1/2")
The SMW 1/2" Modular Vise uses low profile clamping for a versatile workholding and fixturing system in combination with Saunders Machine Works 1/2" Fixture Plates! Product Details: Soft jaw compatible! Steel body and jaws machined in-house by SMW. The fixed position Mod Vise Jaw uses diamond pins for quick tram alignment with the Fixture Plate's bolt pattern. SMW Mod Vises will generally not work on non-SMW fixture plates. Uses 7/16-20 'clamping bolts' on the Adjustable Jaw to deliver ~2900 pounds of clamping force at 30 ft/lbs torque per bolt- on par with typical 4" machine vises. Jaws can be used in reverse orientation along with vise parallels like traditional machine vises (great for finishing work on height-critical parts - see photos for example) Video Tutorial on How to Use the Mod Vise.
