A universal vise is a type of vise characterized by its adjustable angles. Unlike standard vises that remain static once clamped, a universal vise offers the flexibility to move and adjust even after the object is secured, greatly aiding in detailed work. It allows for the adjustment of both tilt and rotation angles, accommodating a wide range of processes.
This type of vise is used in numerous applications, including with high-speed grinders, in soldering, assembly, microscopic observation, ring making, dental prosthetic creation, clamping magnetic bases for machining large objects, filing, measuring, and various woodworking tasks such as wood carving. Universal vises come in different models, some offering instant tilt adjustments without a clamp and others designed to be fixed to a workbench with a clamp.
