3 axis vise

3 axis

— design variant found in a vise (see "Type"). The jaws of such tools can be rotated around three axes: rotated in a horizontal plane, as well as tilted back and forth and left and right. This gives a very wide range of tool settings, the three-axis design allows you to place the clamped header in positions inaccessible to conventional (non-rotary) vices. In addition, such features are indispensable in cases where the position of the workpiece needs to be periodically changed: instead of opening the jaws and re-clamping the part in them, it is more convenient to turn the vise on the base. For added convenience, scales are often provided in the design to allow you to determine the angle of rotation. Three-axis models are often used as machine tools (see "Purpose of a vice").
