Сross slide vise

Cross

— the design used in some models of machine vise (see "Purpose of the vise"). The working part of such a vise is made movable, it can move in the longitudinal and transverse directions relative to the base; each direction is responsible for its own movement mechanism, usually screw, and the screws are located crosswise, hence the name. Thanks to this design, it is easy to move the jaws with the part clamped in them, selecting the required position of the workpiece relative to the working tool of the machine.
