Description
A parallelism-maintaining mechanism that replaces the traditional parallel-guide and wooden pin arrangement found on leg vises. Two cast-iron or steel arms are joined at a pivot point; as the vise opens and closes the chop tracks perfectly parallel to the bench leg, so wide boards clamp flat without racking. Available in Solo, Retro, and CC 14 configurations to suit different vise styles and bench layouts. Required companion hardware for Classic and Glide leg vises.
