Holding irregular shapes with Workmate®Work Center

Using the swivel pegs (Q) in the appropriate holes and the independent action of both vise handles, the Work Center can secure the most irregular shapes. It lets you grip objects that used to be impossible to hold. Rotate swivel pegs to accept irregular shapes. Outside swivel pegs extend capacity for the diagonal grip with jaws fully open. (Step 12 & 13)

Working with your Workmate®Work Center

The Work Center is a vise and workbench all in one. Its basic design and special features help you perform a complete range of workshop tasks from the simplest to the most complicated. The heart of the Work Center is in the action of the two parallel vise jaws, The two vise handles adjust the jaws to a maximum of 4 1/2 inches (114mm) jaw opening. Because each handle works independently, the opening can be tapered from 0 inches to 5 inches (127mm) maximum. Use of the swivel pegs in the appropriate vise holes extends the vise capacity of the Work Center up to 10-1/2 inches (266mm) parallel clamping and 22-1/2 inches (570mm) when objects are held diagonally. The Work Center is a useful sawhorse and holds material securely. Sawing tubular pieces is easy when they are held horizontally in the specially designed “V” grooves running along the face of the vise jaws. Vertical “V” grooves in the vise jaws permit rigid vertical grasping of tubular objects.

NOTE: Place your foot on the bracket of the Work Center to steady it. DO NOT USE AS A STEP.
