Product Information
Low-profile Tiny Vise clamps are ideal for thin workpieces, and whenever downthrust action is not required. These mini edge clamps securely grip the side of a workpiece to keep the top clear for machining. Patented design features a slotted countersink to provide strong, reliable clamping force with the easy turn of a hex wrench. These compact clamps are ideal for fixturing multiple parts, small or large. These clamps look so simple, but work amazingly well, with major advantages over earlier designs. Each clamp has both a serrated face (for maximum gripping) and a smooth face (to avoid marring finished parts). Available in a wide range of sizes, from a miniature #8-32 thread size, up to a powerful 1"-8 thread size with 2500 lbs clamping force. Patent number 5,624,106. Made in USA.

Clamping Action
Clamping force is applied by positive screw action with the easy turn of a hex wrench Patented design features a slotted countersink Clamping force is applied by positive screw action with the easy turn of a hex wrench (not with an unreliable, unsafe eccentric cam as used in other designs). A high-strength Flat-Head Socket Screw engages a mating slotted countersink to exert strong clamping force. Much more durable than other designs.
Design Considerations
Tiny Vise clamps are designed to provide strong clamping force when tightened by hand. Do not exceed the recommended tightening torque. Recommended torque and clamping force are at 1/3 of yield strength, leaving 2/3 of holding capacity to resist external cutting forces.
