Veritas Surface Vise
This clamp combines the holding functions of a quick-release tail vise with the portability of a bench dog. It can be positioned at any angle vertical through horizontal and, since work is held between the jaw and any fixed work stop, clamping capacity is limited only by the size of the mounting surface.
The double posts mount in 3/4 in. holes. The forward post has a clearance hole to guide the clamping rod, and a wedging mechanism that anchors it firmly in through-holes in material as thin as 1 in. (depending on the strength of the material) or in blind holes at least 1-5/16 in. deep. The rear post seats in blind holes at least 2 in. deep and has a quick-release mechanism for adjusting the projection of the rod.
Rotating the post slightly disengages the threads, allowing the rod to slide freely. Re-aligning the post engages the threads for clamping. The 19 in. rod has a stainless-steel swivel handle for applying clamping force in any position. The removable magnet-mounted flat jaw is through-drilled for attaching customized jaws for specialized work, and projects only 3/4 in. above the work surface, giving virtually unobstructed access to the workpiece. This is a versatile vise.
