1. Check that both vise jaws are clean and mounted securely. 2. Loosen (DO NOT REMOVE) the two center mounting block screws until the assembly can move freely. 3. Insert (2) 3/4" (19 mm) diameter dowel pins into the vise as shown.
Full Answer
How does a centering vise work?
A self-centering vise is a workholding device that automatically adjusts the workpiece to center, thereby, improving machining precision and repeatability.
What is self-centering?
Definition of self-centering 1 : centering in or of oneself. 2 of a chuck : having jaws or dogs that can be made to move with gripping faces always equidistant from the chuck axis.
What is a self centering chuck?
A self-centering lathe chuck, also known as a scroll chuck, uses jaws, interconnected by a scroll, to hold onto a workpiece. Self centering chucks can be fitted with 2 jaws, 3 jaws, 4 jaws, or 6 jaws, dependent on the needs of the operator and the work being done.

What is centering in psychology?
n. a technique whose aim is to increase and focus attention and energy, to provide relief from stress and anxiety, or both. Various practices (e.g., meditation, yoga) emphasize centering as a way of focusing attention on the process of breathing in order to slow it down or regularize it.
What is the number of jaws in self Centred Chuck?
threeNumber of Jaws required for self centred chuck is three, thus it is used for centrering symmetrical workpieces. For unsymmetrical workpiece we require Four-Jaw chuck. A lathe chuck is a holding device which is used for holding the job firmly against the cutting tool.
