Abstract
A bench vise includes a stationary structure carrying one clamping jaw. A square section tube is arranged to cantilever outwardly from the stationary structure and the tube carries a second clamping jaw. Coarse adjustment can be obtained by tilting the tube about a horizontal axis and then moving it with respect to the stationary structure. Fine adjustment is obtained and clamping forces are exerted by operation of a screw-operated mechanism carried by the tube and acting on the clamping jaw carried by the tube. The tube can be withdrawn from the stationary structure and rotated through 90.degree. in either direction to obtain an alternative orientation of the clamping jaw carried by the tube.
