FEATURES: Side-Stop Jaw Inserts are used together with base jaws as part of our Quick Insert System (QIS). These precision downthrust flat jaws have a smooth contact surface and an integral side stop. Side-Stop Jaw Inserts should be mounted on the fixed-jaw side (for positional accuracy), together with a Plain Jaw Insert on the sliding-jaw side.
QUICK INSERT SYSTEM: QIS is our patented system of downthrust vice jaws, consisting of several different quick-change jaw inserts that mount on a single base jaw. Jaw inserts are held in place by a guide pin and two permanent magnets (Side-Stop Jaw Inserts have a bottom groove instead of a guide pin for precise sideways location on the vice guideways). Jaw inserts can be changed in a few seconds. The base jaw and jaw inserts have a matching angle between them to provide downthrust action. This downthrust effect ensures that the work piece is held firmly down against the vice to a precise zero point, providing extremely accurate height location.
SIZES: Available in three jaw widths, to fit the following vice sizes — see Dimensions page for part numbers:| | 100mm Jaw | | | 125mm Jaw | | | 160mm Jaw |
MOUNTING: Base jaws are firmly fastened to the vice using two socket-head cap screws. To install Side-Stop Jaw Inserts, slide insert toward the base jaw with the bottom groove engauging the vice guideways, until the insert is held by the permanent magnets. To remove, pull the jaw insert upward until the guide pin reaches the top of the slot, then tilt the insert forward to overcome the retention force of the permanent magnets.
MATERIAL: Steel, hardened and ground. |
