This package includes a 3" Precision screwless sine vise and a 36 piece space block set.

Vise:

Jaw width is 2.9" (73 mm), jaw depth is 1.4" (35 mm), jaw opening is 4" (100 mm). The base size is 7" x 2.9" (190 mm x 73 mm) The center distance of the cylinders is 100.00 mm. Hardened and precision ground to a tolerance of .0004” for both parallelism and squareness. Sine range: 0 - 60°. Jaw can be opened or closed without unbolting vise from work surface.

Block Set:

36 piece block set, use these space blocks to set the sine vise to the correct angle. Working surfaces hardened to Rc 57-60. Four connecting screws are included to make any length desired. Made of precision tool steel and individually marked. Meets or exceeds federal specifications. Set comes in a fitted case.

Chris Chris' Tips
You can set the Sine Vise to a precise angle using our Space Blocks.

The Sine Vise Height Table shows how to set the sine vise.

There are tables available that tell you how tall a stack of space blocks you need for a particular angle with a sine vise or sine bar. But nowadays, it is probably easier to find a calculator that has a sine function than the appropriate table. (There is such a calculator built into Windows--switch to scientific view.)

Here is how to use a calculator to calculate the stack of space blocks you need:
1. Enter the angle in decimal degrees (for example 15.2).
2. Press the SINE (or SIN) key (result 0.26218).
3. Press the X (multiply) key.
4. Enter the roll spacing (for example 5).
5. Press the = (equal) key (result 1.31095).

Take a look at our vise comparison page before you choose a vise.
