Soft Jaws feature throw-away design.
Press Release Summary:
Using L-shaped top jaw design, Sacrificial Vise Jaws(TM) provide rigidity and clamping reproducibility. Part of jaw extends over top of vise, creating greater machinable area and minimizing flexing that occurs when machining parts above vise.

Sacrificing Soft Jaws
Engineer says throw-away soft jaws save money
DEERFIELD BEACH, FL - It used to be that for every new job they received, machine shops would fabricate their own soft jaws for machining the parts. But times are changing, and the use of throw-away soft jaws has become a new, more efficient trend in the industry.
"Many shops have learned that by ordering disposable, promptly-delivered soft jaws from a company that is already set up for this kind of work, they save an enormous amount of the time, money and resources that they once wasted creating job-specific jaws," explained Domenic Mucciacciaro, chief executive officer of LIGI Tool & Engineering, Inc.
Mucciacciaro said that LIGI's Sacrificial Vise Jaws(TM) have two unique design features that make them even more efficient:
First, they use a patent-pending, "L"-shaped top jaw design, which gives increased rigidity and clamping reproducibility. Part of the soft jaw extends over the top of the vise, creating a greater machinable area and simultaneously, greatly reducing the "flexing" that occurs when machining parts above the vise.
Second, the jaws come with a standard "quick-change" feature that allows machinists to change them in a few seconds, using a standard Allen Wrench.
"The benefits of these throw-away jaws are incredible," asserted Mucciacciaro, "especially when purchased at a price that is so much lower than if you had to make them yourself, as most shops do."
LIGI's Sacrificial Vise Jaws(TM) start at $16.50 per pair.
