From the Manufacturer The PanaVise 380 vacuum base is a compact and portable work-holding tool base designed to attach to smooth, non-porous surfaces away from traditional work benches. The base features a smooth, lower-aligned rubber pad and lever combination which creates a vacuum that secures the unit to surfaces. It also features lightweight construction, a shaft diameter acceptance of 5/8" (15.9 mm), compatibility with multiple tool and vise head options and a "split-ball" adjustment element utilizing single-knob controls for head movement through 3 separate planes (tilt, turn and rotate). Pad and lever create a vacuum securing the base to smooth surfaces. Portable Clamp-free Holding Power The PanaVise vacuum base is a work-holding tool component that utilizes a rubber pad integrated into its bottom edge to stick to smooth, non-porous surfaces. Combined with a compatible PanaVise 300 vise head, or any 5/8" (15.9 mm) diameter shaft accessory (sold separately), this creates a portable vise suitable for use in small-to-medium-sized jobs. Vacuum action is created as a turn of the base's flip handle lifts the middle portion of its smooth rubber pad away from a consistent seal against a smooth, clean surface. The vacuum is released with a reverse flip of the same lever. The base and any attached vise head or other head accessories are sufficiently immobilized at the remaining contact points along the base's edge. This holding power means that the base does not require traditional bench clamps or weighted accessories, which in turn means that the weight of the base can be kept at a portable 1.7 lbs. (0.8 kg). The light weight allows for easy transport and convenient use away from work benches. The unit's rubber vacuum pad is replaceable if its holding power is ever compromised by wear. Dependable placement along horizontal or vertical planes (vise head sold separately). Convenient adjustability across three separate planes and lightweight construction (vise head sold separately). Multiple Vise Head Options The PanaVise 380 Vacuum Base is intended for use across a wide range of applications, and so is compatible with a large range of vise heads. The base works with all PanaVise 300 series vise heads, as well as the PV Jr. 203 head, or any 5/8" diameter shaft accessory. Tilt, Turn and Rotate Functionality The PanaVise 380 vacuum base utilizes PanaVise single-knob "split-ball" functionality at the point of contact with installed vise heads and accessories. Once a vise head is installed and an item is secured, the split-ball system allows for maneuvering the head element along three separate planes. The complete mobility range with the split-ball joint clamp system is a 90-degree tilt to the side, along with either an angled rotation, or a level turn range of 360 degrees. The mobility range allows a user to rearrange work items into any position, limiting the need to adjust the overall position of the vise, or the item within the vise.
