The vise can be adjusted to cut any angle from a straight
90 degree cut-off, to a 45 degree angle by loosening the
two vise lock handles. Positive stops at 90° and 45° allow
you to quickly return the rear jaw to either angle. Angles
between 90° and 45° can be read using the scale on the
side of the vise table. Use a combination square or bevel
protractor if higher precision is required when finding
these angles.
To adjust the positive stops, do these steps:
1.
Check the current vise jaw-to-blade angle with a
machinist square (see Figure 15 ).
2. If the angle is not 90°, loosen the vise lock handle
then adjust the set screw as needed to set the posi-
tive stop to 90° (see Figure 16 ).
3. With the rear vise jaw making contact with the posi-
tive stop, tighten the rear vise jaw and re-check the
angle.
4. Loosen the rear vise lock handle and swing the rear
jaw until it reaches the 45° positive stop.
5.
Tighten the rear jaw and check the angle.
6.
If the angle is not at 45°, loosen the vise jaw and
adjust the set screw as needed to set the positive
stop to 45°.
7.
With the rear vise jaw making contact with the posi-
tive stop, tighten the rear vise jaw and re-check the
angle.
8.
After the final angle has been chosen, loosen the
lock handle in Figure 17 on the opposite jaw so the
jaw can float, and match the angle of the workpiece
and rear jaw.
9. Tighten the vise against the workpiece then tighten
the jaw lock handle.
