Abstract

A woodworking vise includes a profiled vise body (1), a first jaw (2) and a second jaw (2′). The first jaw (2) and the second jaw (2′) are disposed at both ends of the vise body along its longitudinal axis. The woodworking vise further includes at least one movable jaw (3). The at least one movable jaw (3) is slidably connected to a top surface of the profiled vise body. Between the movable jaw (3) and the top surface of the profiled vise body (1), a locking block (36) is disposed, and a bottom surface of the locking block (36) is slidably connected to the top surface of the profiled vise body (1). The movable jaw (3) includes a force applying means (34) and a camshaft (35). The camshaft (35) has at least one cam, and the force applying means (34) is connected to the camshaft (35). Moreover, the force applying means (34) is able to rotate about a center axis of the camshaft (35) to drive the camshaft (35) to rotate therewith to cause the cam of the camshaft (35) to press against the locking block (36) and, by means of the locking block (36), press and secure the movable jaw (3) against and to the top surface of the vise body (1). Wherein, the center axis of the camshaft (35) is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the profiled vise body (1). This woodworking vise can solve the problem of an angle of clamping deviation.
