 The Anti Lift Jaw System for a 5th Axis Vise & a Comparison between 5th Axis and Lang Workholding2/18/2020 The anti-lift jaw system from 5th Axis is available for those customers requiring higher precision and accuracy during secondary operation machining. The system uses a cleat and angled soft jaw to pull the jaw in and down when torque is applied to the lead screw. Step 1 Loosen shoulder bolts and remove the standard master jaws from the vise base.
Step 2 Take the shoulder bolts and utilize them to bolt the cleats onto the vise base. Torque shoulder bolts to 20 ft lbs. (27.11 Nm)
Step 3 Take anti-lift soft jaw and insert the soft jaw into the cleat. It helps if you insert the soft jaw at a 45 degree angle. Ensure that soft jaw seats properly into cleat.
