ABSTRACT:
A self-indexing vise 10 for clamping an angled workpiece 47 includes a pair of jaws 20, 32 capable of relative movement, a semi-cylindrical jaw insert 54 received in a recess 52 in one of the jaws 20, 32 and capable of pivoting to automatically conform to the contour of an angled workpiece 47. The jaw insert 54 is sized slightly larger than the recess 52 in which it pivots such that when the vise 10 is loaded, a press fit forms between recess 52 and jaw insert 54 which locks the insert 54 into position.
