ABSTRACT:
A system and method for securely clamping a target material that is to be manipulated using conventional machining techniques. The vise includes a single piece that includes a rigid jaw and a floating jaw that are integrally connected. The floating jaw is formed by a vertical and horizontal cut through a portion of the vise to enable the floating jaw to bend slightly in a hinge-like manner. A top portion of the rigid jaw and a top portion of the floating jaw are cut in a first pattern to form a working area. The size of the first pattern is approximately equal to the clamping surface of the target material. The size of the working area can be adjusted by securing devices that can expand the width of the working area to receive the target material and that can reduce the working area to securely clamp the target material. Additional cuts can be made in the vise to accommodate multiple target materials that can be secured independently. The vise of the present invention permits target parts to be securely gripped along the full length of its longitudinal axis, provides adequate clearance to machine tools to eliminate many interferences between the vise and the machining tool, enables multiple target parts to be secured independently, is adaptable to conventional machine tools, and increases the number of target parts that can be machined in a given space.
