Shop Solution for Faster Jaw Change-Overs
This shop turned a problem into a product line.
Winn Manufacturing in Granville, N. Y. is like every other shop in that it consistently looks for ways to speed change-overs. In fact, it has recently turned one solution into a product line. Changing vise jaws was a time-consuming task because its vises used standard bolt-on jaws. This problem led to the development of the Winn Speed Lock vise, an angle lock vise that enables users to change jaws in 30 seconds.
