KURT INTRODUCES NEW 'CLAK' QUICK-CHANGE PARALLEL SYSTEM FOR ITS 4 AND 6 INCH VISES
21 March 2005 - Kurt Manufacturing Company
| Called the Kurt 'Clak' system, these patented parallels eliminate manual clamping and locking up of jaw components. Each parallel has two spring-loaded steel balls in its base, which snaps into and locks to a corresponding jaw plate. These parallels slide and lock into place without the need for hand tools. |
The new system is designed to increase the accuracy of finished parts while reducing setup time, downtime and scrap. The parallels and jaws are precision hardened and ground. Six pairs of parallels in various heights come as a set conveniently boxed with or without the jaw plates for easy storage and use. The Kurt Clak system works well with Kurt's new Magnetic Workstop accessory for fast, accurate positioning of parts in the vise jaw clamping zone.
