Abstract
The present invention provides an apparatus for forming a stationary vise jaw on a vise having improved deflection characteristics when loaded from a movable vise jaw. The apparatus comprises a block having a width defined by a vise jaw end surface facing the movable jaw and an end surface opposite the vise jaw end surface, and a height defined by an upper surface and a lower surface engaging a support surface of the vise. A channel is formed generally perpendicular to the width and within the block to open to the lower surface. The channel receives a member protruding from the support surface when the block is secured to the vise. A fastener such as a bolt secures the block to the support surface wherein the fastener is located between the channel and the vise jaw end surface at a distance along the width wherein a ratio between the distance from the vise jaw end surface to a reference axis of the fastener and the distance from the opposite end surface to the reference axis is greater than 0.5:1 and less than 1:1.
