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. |
