ABSTRACT:
A reversible jaw plate for a clamping device, such as a machine vise, has two substantially parallel, oppositely facing clamping faces. At least one mounting slot is formed in the jaw plate that opens to one edge of the jaw plate. The mounting slot has a center wide portion and two narrower slot portions opening to the two faces of the jaw plate. A head of a fastener is slid into a wider portion of the slot with the shank of the fastener extending out one of the narrow slot portions, to extend from a first of the two faces of the jaw. The second, opposite face may be used for clamping. The jaw plate can be reversed so that the shank of the fastener extends from the narrower slot in the other of the jaw plate faces, to permit using the first face for clamping. Either one of the jaw plate faces can be used for clamping a workpiece by reversing the jaw plate and having a reversible fastener in the mounting slot or slots to secure the jaw plate to a jaw or mounting member.
