ABSTRACT:
An XYZ vise comprises a spherical body having a permanent magnet accommodated therein, a reference plate mounted on the body to be rotatable about the x- and y-axes, and a vise unit mounted on the reference plate to be rotatable about the z-axis. The spherical body comprises a pair of hemispherical members which can be selectively magnetized or demagnetized by rotating the permanent magnet. When the hemispherical members are demagnetized a workpiece clamped by the vise unit can be angularly positioned with respect to all of the x-, y- and z-axes and when they are magnetized the workpiece can be securely held in the set position.
