"Now there's no need to tilt the head of a mill or machine an expensive pair of jaws to accomplish only one angle in a setup. Kurt has two popular options to accomplish very common part positioning angles including 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 45° and 60°," said a company spokesperson.
Kurt 3-In-One Jaw System is designed to increase the versatility of any standard 6" or 8" Kurt vise. It is a simple, bolt on jaw system with a series of preset patterns with aligning pins. "The jaws hold parts precisely like conventional jaw plates but with the extra benefit of allowing aggressive machining while clamping at preset angles," said the spokesperson. The 3-In-One jaw system can also be used as a workpiece work stop and a parallel, so it is three products in one.
Kurt Sine Parallels increase the versatility of any standard 6" Kurt vise with standard hard jaws or soft jaws. They are designed to install and position quickly and easily with a single bolt for each plate. Jaw plates remain in the vise while using the Sine Parallels. Following the initial set-up, the Sine Parallels can be quickly changed to any of the other angles and also be used as a parallel.
"Kurt's Sine Parallels and 3-In-One Jaw Systems are ideal for any lot size from prototype to production," said Steve Kane, Global Sales and Marketing Manager for Kurt. "These vise accessory products are a better and more cost-effective option than building a special fixture or special machining. They add versatility to any existing standard Kurt 6 inches or 8 inches vise."
