Abstract
A vise assembly is provided for use in conjunction with a work device of the type having a working table and a base for supporting the table in an elevated, working position. The vise assembly comprises a pair of jaws selectively movable towards and away from each other along a guide bar to effect clamping about a workpiece. The jaws are attached adjustably to the work device so that the jaws can be repositioned to accommodate various workpiece configurations and hold workpieces in a desired orientation. Additional support is provided for workpieces by an adjustable work bar that is preferably pivotally attached to the work device. The work bar can be moved upwardly to supplement the support for the workpiece provided by the jaws and working table.
