PanaVise 385 Micrometer Vise Head
The PanaVise 385 is a micrometer vise head built for precision work on small components. Its aluminum body and nylon jaw faces open to a maximum of 1/2 inch and close fully for holding thin items. The head rotates 360 degrees and swivels 360 degrees at the base. It mounts to compatible bases using a single 5/8 inch mounting hole.
Check Base Compatibility Before Ordering
This head is designed to fit the manufacturer model 300 base, so verify that your existing PanaVise base matches this specification. The unit weighs 0.23 lb and has an overall depth of 3 1/8 inches with a 15/16 inch throat depth. Ensure the single mounting hole aligns with your current setup for secure attachment.
Ideal for Delicate Assembly and Inspection
Suited for technicians and hobbyists needing fine jaw control and full rotational adjustment on a compact head. The smooth nylon faces protect delicate surfaces while the Delrin pads allow a zero-gap closure. Not intended for heavy clamping force or oversized workpieces beyond the 1/2 inch jaw capacity. Buyers requiring wider jaw openings or higher torque should consider other options.

Questions about this item
What comes with the 385 head and what must I supply?
The 385 head includes aluminium body, nylon jaw faces with Delrin pads, and a single 5/8 in mounting hole. You must provide a compatible base such as the 300 model.
How do I decide between the 385 head and other PanaVise heads?
Choose the 385 when you need a 1/2 in maximum jaw opening, 1 in smooth nylon faces, 15/16 in throat depth, and full 360 degree rotation on a 5/8 in mount.
What does the 1/2 in opening mean when the head is mounted on a bench?
The jaws open 12.7 mm and close fully to zero, holding thin workpieces, while the head swivels 360 degrees and rotates 360 degrees for positioning.
