With numerous accessories available, the workholding device can reduce setup time and eliminate the need for custom fixtures. A non-marring cover clamp for enabling heavy cuts is included, as is a low-profile cover. In addition to holding multiple parts, the tool has the capacity to grip odd or conventional parts in inch, metric or unconventional sizes. Work can be secured on either side of the tool. Therefore, the block can be held on any side or at precise angles for machining. In addition, the block can be transported from machine to machine without releasing the part. According to the manufacturer, the relationship between critical features is maintained, and consequently scrap can be reduced.
