Information concerning Pin Plate hole sizes
This holder fits the pin plates on the Low Profile Turntable vise,
Goliath and PalmControl® vises that use standard 1/8" diameter
pins. Let us know if the holder is to be used in the 90lb Titan
vise, we will provide the correct pins for it. Engraving vises
from the past used a larger pin hole, around .140" but can vary
from that quiet a bit. Long ago this size was selected because
it was a "nail size" (so that a nail could used for pins). This
was before precision dowel pins were readily available. Engravers
aren't using nails for pins anymore. If you have a vise with
larger than 1/8" pin plates and you'd like to use our holder in
them we can custom make pins for our holder to fit your pin plate.
It would be most accurate to send us the pin plates you'd like to
use this holder with. Cost is an additional fee of $20. For this,
just order normally, and in the space provided for a note during
checkout write that you'd like the holder to be custom fit to your
pin plates. Then ship your pin plates to us. We will send them
back along with the holder order.
Another option in the
photo to the left is we have ready to go adapter pins. Steve
picked a middle of the road size for older pin plates that use a
nail sized hole and made these pins that size. Since the older
vises the nail sized pin plates can rang a size was picked that
should fit a lot of the older vises. For a custom fit we can
custom make the pins as described in the above paragraph if
needed. |
