Tormach Announces New Specialty Jaw Plates for 5” Vises

Waunakee, WI, January 26, 2011 --(PR.com)-- This week Tormach launched new specialty jaw plates for 5” Vises, available for sale at www.tormach.com. The series of interchangeable jaw plates provide an expandable workholding system for Tormach’s 5” vise and include the Super Soft Jaws™, the V Block Jaw Plate and the Pin Jaw Plate. Tormach is also offering a 5” Jaw Plate Set which includes Steel Step, Standard Aluminum, XL Aluminum, V-Block and Extra Tall Jaws and comes packaged in a wooden case.

The Super Soft Jaws™ product, exclusive to Tormach, is a modular 5” jaw plate kit for holding difficult shapes or delicate parts. It’s made of a reusable remoldable plastic (similar to polycaprolactone), which is hard at room temperature, but can be shaped and molded to make a custom clamping surface when heated in hot water. The Super Soft Jaws include 10 oz. plastic, aluminum jaws and sub plates, studs and necessary hardware.

The V Block Jaw Plate is Rockwell 56C hardened steel with ground precision surfaces. It has three vertical and two horizontal “V” grooves (1/2” primary and ¼” secondary) and fits all 5” Tormach vises.

The Pin Jaw Plate is Rockwell 56C hardened steel as well with ground precision surface and black oxide finish. It includes 6mm pins (four each: 6-25, 6-30, and 6-50), has 37 pin locations and is counter bored for 12mm cap screws. It fits all 5” Tormach vises as well.
