For clamping workpieces that must not be damaged. The clamping surface is grooved and not ribbed. This results in reducing the potential for marking components. The stepped jaw is hardened approx. 0.2 mm deep. The accuracy of the surface with respect to the serration is +/- 0.02 mm. For greater accuracy, the jaws must be ground in tension on the vice.
5-Axis jaws provide the component with a lot more height creating more clearance for tools in 5 axis applications. Serrated surface means that component can be held on less material resulting in less waste material.
