Abstract
A vise is cantilever mounted to a workbench, projects forwardly thereof, and is disposed below the extended plane of the workbench table top. The vise includes a pair of U-shaped brackets, secured to the underside of the table top, and a pair of tubular beams slidably received in the respective brackets. Each of the beams is selectively indexed to its cooperating bracket, thereby providing a 'coarse' adjustment. A fixed rear vise jaw is disposed on top of the beams, transversely thereof; this rear vise jaw is secured to the brackets and abuts against the lower portion of the longitudinal front side of the table top. A movable front vise jaw is mounted on top of the beams, transversely thereof, and may be moved in a non-parallel relationship with respect to the fixed rear vise jaw for clamping tapered workpieces therebetween. The means for mounting the movable front jaw to the beams includes a pair of independently-operable screw-threaded rods in the beams, restrained against axial movement thereof, and carrying respective crank handles. The rods are received in respective pivot nut members secured to the movable front vise jaw.
