Project of the Month Winner
Hi All,
I frequently use my vise with the jaws mounted to hold wide parts. When using the removable hard jaw plate mounted to the operator side of the movable front jaw
a parallel of the same thickness as the movable jaw helps to provide a solid seat near the fixed jaw. Since the front jaw " floats " the parallel provides an additional
spot to insure the part seats solid when tapping down. The difference is notable with the parallel in place.
