HOLDING IRREGULAR SHAPES WITH WORKMATE CENTER
Using the swivel peqs in the appropriate holes and the independent
action of both vise _andles, the Work Center can secure the most

WORKING WITH YOUR WORKMATE WORK CENTER
The Work Center is a vise and workbench all in one. Its basic design
and special features help you perform a complete range of workshop
tasks kom the simplest to the most complicated. The heart of the
Work Center is in the action of the two parallel vise jaws, The two vise
handles adjust the jaws to a maximum of 4 1/2 (114ram) jaw
openinq. Because each handle works independently, the opening can Be
taperec[from 0 to 5 (127mm) maximum. Use of the swivel pegs in the
appropr!a!e vise holes extends the vise capacity of the Work Center up
to 10-3/4 (273mm) parallel clamping and 22-1/2 (570ram) when
objects are held diagonally. The Work Center is a useful sawhorse and
holds material securely. Sawinq tubular pieces is easy when they are
held horizontally in the specialty desiqned V grooves running along
the face of the vise jaws. Black & Decker supplies,,,at,extra cost, clamps
for securing larger projects to the Workmate an,d, _ clamps are
available at your local hardware store. Vertical V grooves in the vise
jaws permit rigid vertical grasping of tubular objects.
