ABSTRACT:
An integral workbench having a table top formed as an integral vise including integral vise jaws and clamping elements which are longitudinally and angularly adjustable to vary the angle of clamping and selectively adjustable to vary the shape of the clamping surface. Either vise jaw has a pair of spaced apart openings formed therein longitudinally thereof and the other vise jaw has one such opening formed therein. Each opening has a substantially straight edge portion and a plurality of longitudinally-spaced cut-outs formed therein opposite to the straight edge portion. A clamping element is associated with each opening such that at least three clamping elements are provided. Each clamping element has a top portion that rests on the jaw and a shank portion that extends through the opening and is adapted to be selectively received within one of the cut-outs, providing longitudinal adjustability. The elements may rotate about the axis of the shank, providing angular adjustability. The top portion of each clamping element has at least one arcuate and at least one straight edge clamping surface formed thereon. By rotation of the element about their axis, the clamping surfaces may be adapted to be selectively clamped against the workpiece so that the shape of the clamping surface may be varied to conform with the shape of the surface of the workpiece to be clamped.
