ABSTRACT:
A vice jaw assembly mounted upon a precision machining piece of equipment, the equipment including a platform accessible by a machining tool. The vice assembly includes a base which is fixedly secured upon the platform and first and second spaced apart jaw members which are in turn mounted upon the base. A crank mechanism is employed for actuating at least one of the jaw members in directions towards and away from each other. First and second spacer blocks are secured to the first and second jaw members, respectively, by mounting bolts which extend through aligned apertures between the spacer blocks and jaw members. A mounting pin secures to the first spacer block and extends through an aperture in the second spaced apart spacer block. Additional intermediate and floating spacer blocks are arrayed at predetermined locations between the first and second spacer blocks and each includes an additional aperture formed therethrough which receives in inserting fashion the mounting pin. Workpiece engaging surfaces are formed along opposing top edge surfaces of the first and second spacer blocks which are secured to the first and second jaw members, as well as along parallel extending and opposite top edge surfaces of the additional intermediate and floating spacer blocks. The workpiece engaging surfaces function so as to secure against opposing engaging surfaces of each individual workpiece and to permit a plurality of such workpieces to be mounted at selected locations upon the vice jaw assembly during a continuous machining operation.
