## Description

Product Description Multi-Angle Vise, Base Type Stationary, Jaw Width 6 In., Max. Opening 6 In., Throat Depth 1-55/64 In., Pipe Capacity 1/2 to 3-1/2 In., Jaw Face Grooved, Jaw Material Ribbed Neoprene, Material Cast Zinc, Swivel Angle 360 Degrees , Overall Length 11 In., Overall Width 4-5/16 In., Overall Height 7-5/16 In., Features Single Knob Controls Head Movement Through 3 Planes, 90 Deg Tilt, 360 Deg Turn and 360 Deg Rotation From the Manufacturer The PanaVise 396 wide-opening work-holding tool is a general work-holding tool bundle designed for holding larger, heavier objects. The 396 features a head that opens up to 6", and features removable neoprene jaw pads, and the PanaVise 300 standard base. The PanaVise 300 standard baseis compatible with additional tool and vise head options, and features PanaVise "split-ball" functionality which utilizes single-knob controls for head movement through three separate planes (tilt, turn and rotate). General work-holding secure power for larger, heavier objects. View larger.The General Work-holding Tool for Larger Objects The PanaVise 396 wide opening head work-holding tool is made up of two PanaVise components: the 366 wide opening vise head and the 300 standard base. The 366 vise head is 11" (279.4 mm) in length and opens up to 6" (152.4 mm) with neoprene pads attached (6-1/4" (158.8 mm) with pads off). The body of the head above the stem has a black oxide coating to reduce glare from overhead work lights. The included 1-7/8" neoprene jaw pads are reversible and removable. One side of the pads contains multiple grooves designed for flat surfaces, while the other has a wide 'V' groove to hold round objects. The PanaVise 300 standard base includes a 3-3/4" (95.2 mm) tall stand with a 4-5/16" (109.5 mm) footprint, and weighs 1.4 lb. (0.6 kg). To secure the entire unit to a work bench or an optional base mount, the 396 features a bolt circle at the bottom edge of the base, which is countersunk for three 1/4" flathead screws. A 6" jaw opening and 3-plane adjustability (bench clamp mount not included). View larger. Reversible neoprene jaw pads for securely holding a range of items. View larger.Tilt, Turn and Rotate Functionality The PanaVise PanaVise 396 wide opening head work-holding tool utilizes PanaVise single-knob "split-ball" functionality at the point of contact between its base and vise head attachment. Once an item is secured within the head, the split-ball system allows maneuvering along three separate planes. The mobility range of the model 396's split-ball system is a 90-degree tilt to the side, along with either an angled rotation, or a level turn range of 360 degrees. This mobility range allows a user to rearrange a work item into any position, eliminating the need to adjust the overall position of the work station. Additional Head Options Although the PanaVise 396 work-holding tool is primarily intended for use with the included 366 wide opening vise head attachment, it is also compatible with a range of other vise head accessories. Its base works with all PanaVise 300 series vise heads, as well as the PV Jr. model 203 head, or any other tool with a 5/8" diameter shaft.

Review: What a great vise! - This vise is really amazing. It does exactly what I want it to do. There is one problem: There is no way to quickly open or close the jaws (like the slide mechs in quick-grip vises/clamps), so you will spend a fair amount of time cranking the very small clamp wheel. Other than that it is built well and performs excellently.
Review: Good weight and wide grip - This is a solid modelers vise. It has a nice weight to it, though I recommend screwing or bolting it to a board for more versatility than fixing it to a bench or table. With a board the model can be moved around without adjustment. The rubber grips on either side hold a model reasonably well, however, it is just one point of contact and if pressure is applied to either end of the model, unless the grip is very tight there might be some rotation in the model due to the single point of contact. For more delicate models that should not be gripped too tightly, perhaps consider two vises carefully attached to a board, so less pressure needs to be applied by the vise grips. The wide opening of the vise I found very useful, as so many vises barely expand this far. Recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A handy extra hand!
*by K***R on March 8, 2014*

This is a very handy tool for working on small items. I have used one like it for years with the smaller vice head. It swivels to almost any position for ease of access and clamps into place solidly. The wide opening head allows for working on bulkier objects. This is well worht the money spent.
