The vise system has a bracket section which can be secured to any flat horizontal work surface, particularly a drill press platen, with sliding and rotating degrees of freedom with respect to a bracket bolt. The bracket bolt threads into a hole in the work surface and can tighten down to rigidly hold the bracket section in position. A vise section, capable of clamping a work piece between fixed and movable jaws, is connected to the bracket section by a horizontally-oriented connecting bolt, about which the vise section can rotate, and which can be tightened to secure the vise section at any selected angle. The vise section has a rectangular cross-section, facilitating rapid self-indexing of angles 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees with respect to the bracket section. The vise system is capable of being pivoted to a position in which the vise section extends beyond the edge of the work surface in order to accommodate work pieces in orientations which would otherwise interfere with the work surface. The vise system can be removed from or attached to a variety of work surfaces by loosening the bracket bolt without removing it from the surface, and with the vise section still clamping a work piece.

An apparatus for securely positioning thin work pieces for accurate joining of edges using a standard woodworker's bench plane. The plane slides on its side surface on a lower platen surface, and the blade is guided in a very straight path for the cut by a vertical surface which contacts the portion of the sole of the plane lateral to the blade. Work pieces are secured against an upper platen surface by a clamping bar, which is attached by screws at its ends to the platen. Between the clamping bar and the work piece there is a clamping caul, which applies adjustable spaced clamping forces to the work piece by means of individual screws through the clamping bar. Attachable planing fence and miter gage accessories are also disclosed, which permit accurate repeat positioning for taper, cross-grain, and length cuts at selectable angles.
