Abstract
The tool-less vise jaw system comprises a stop block and two jaw plates. The jaw plates couple to the jaws of a vise that is used in conjunction with an industrial machine or tool. One jaw plate comprises a plurality of holes into which pins projecting from the stop block may be inserted. One pin extends through the jaw plate into the space between the vise jaws. The pin is used as a reference point during edge finding. Later, when switching from one job to another, the stop block may be moved to a different position in the plurality of holes and a digital readout may be programmed to change an X-axis offset by an amount corresponding to the distance that the pin was moved, thus eliminating the need to edge find again.
