Abstract
A vise for clamping a workpiece against a stop includes a base and a clamping member. The base contains a cylindrical sliding element having an inclined surface, which engages and aligns with a surface of another cylindrical element that is perpendicular to the first-mentioned element and located in an aperture in the clamping member. Angular engagement of the mating surfaces creates both clamping and holddown forces on the clamping member.
