Vise having pantographic mounting assembly and improved clamping mechanism

摘要

A vise assembly providing clamping of workpieces and pantographic displacement of opposed vise jaw members in parallel in a direction generally transverse to the longitudinal axis of the workpiece. The vise assembly is a shuttle vise, and the pantographic mounting assembly is used with band saw apparatus in production cutting of bar stock, which tends to warp along its longitudinal axis. The vise assembly includes a clamping mechanism for holding the movable vise jaw against the vise ways to prevent diverging of the vise jaw faces and urging of large diameter workpieces up and out of the gripping jaws.
