Multi-Angle Vise 396
The PanaVise Multi-Angle Vise 396 is a light-duty bench tool built for hobbyists and light assembly work. Its cast zinc body weighs 3.63 units and provides a stable platform for holding small parts. The swivel base rotates a full 360 degrees to position the workpiece at any angle. It suits users who need versatile clamping without heavy industrial capacity.
Sustained Clamping Behaviour
Under continuous load the cast zinc frame and vertical grooved jaws maintain a firm grip on materials up to 6 in wide. The 1 55/64 in throat depth limits reach on deeper workpieces during extended sessions. The reversible ribbed neoprene jaw faces protect delicate surfaces from marking over long periods. Light-duty rating means it is not designed for high-torque tightening or heavy machining forces.
Upgrade Context
This vise replaces basic fixed-position clamps when 360-degree swivel access and quick angle changes are required. The jump is worth it for users moving from C-clamps or simple bench vises that lack rotation and reversible jaw faces. It does not suit buyers who need pipe jaws, high-visibility finish or a reversible base mechanism. Heavy fabrication tasks demand a heavier-duty model.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 396 vise generate during all-day clamping?
The cast-zinc body and neoprene jaws produce no measurable heat; the tool is entirely manual with no motor or electronics.
What mounting surface must I already have to use the 360-degree swivel base?
A flat bench or plate with clearance for the 3.63 kg base footprint and bolts for the stationary mount.
Will the 6-inch grooved jaws hold the 1/2-to-3-1/2-inch pipe I already own?
Yes, the integrated pipe jaws accept diameters from 1/2 inch up to 3-1/2 inch alongside flat workpieces.
