Rock Vise
A trim saw rock vise assembly (part number 8300015 - fig 9) is optional with the Cab Combination
Workshop. This assembly is purchased separate from the unit as it does not come as standard
equipment with the Cab Combo Workshop (diamond or carbide). The vise can be ordered as an as-
sembly, ready to be installed on the trim saw table to enable the user to securely hold gemstone mate-
rial while trimming to the desired thickness.

The rock vise assembly comes with a 5/16" diameter stainless steel slider rod which fastens into the
trim saw table top through two mounting holes. Once the vise is secured to the table with the two
acorn nuts fastened to the 5/16" sliding rod (fig 10 & 11), the vise is ready for use. The jaws (metal and
wood plates) are opened by loosening the wing nut studs (fig 12) and moving the jaws to the desired
position to secure the material to be cut. The user can index the cross feed or adjust for parallel slab
cuts to a desired gemstone thickness by loosening the cross feed lock on the back of the vise (fig 13)
and turning the cross feed thumb screw on the left side of the vise (fig 13) to the desired position. User
should periodically lubricate the slider rod by smearing a small amount of wheel-bearing grease on the
surface of the rod.
