From the Manufacturer
---------------------
The PanaVise 381 vacuum base PanaVise is a work-holding tool
base and head combination designed for use on smooth, non-porous
surfaces away from traditional work benches. The base includes a
smooth rubber pad and lever combination which creates a vacuum
that secures the unit to surfaces. The head assembly component
opens to 2-1/2" (63.5 mm), and clamps down with smooth insulated
nylon jaws for gentle holding power. Other features include
rugged, yet lightweight construction and a PanaVise "split-ball"
adjustment element utilizing single-knob controls for head
adjustment on three separate planes (tilt, turn and rotate).
Two-piece work-holding tool that creates a vacuum securing its
base to smooth surfaces.

Portable Clamp-free Holding Power
---------------------------------
The 381 vacuum base PanaVise is a portable two-piece
work-holding tool suitable for hobby, electronics and small home
repairs, that consists of the PanaVise 380 vacuum base and the
303 standard vise head. The base component of the unit adheres to
smooth, non-porous surfaces via the vacuum action that the rubber
pad and flip handle at its bottom create when engaged. The vacuum
action creates a stable and reliable working platform that
eliminates the need for traditional bench clamps or weighted
accessories. The combined unit weighs 2.8 lbs. (1.3 kg), is
portable and easy to transport. The rubber vacuum pad is
replaceable if its holding power is ever compromised by wear.
The standard 303 vise head assembly utilizes smooth, removable
nylon jaws along its opening that measure 2-1/2" (63.5 mm) by
1/2" tall (12.6 mm). These secure tough small jobs without
scratching and offer excellent electrical insulation and gentle
holding power. The overall vise opening width between jaws is
2-1/4" (57.1 mm). Because exposure to heat sources is common in
vise applications such as gluing, circuit board wiring, jewelry
making and use around handheld power tools, the vise head
assembly is continuously heat tolerance to 200 degrees F (93
degrees C), and intermittent heat tolerant up to 300 degrees F
(149 degrees C).
Dependable placement along horizontal or vertical planes where
the vise is needed.

Tilt, Turn and Rotate Functionality
-----------------------------------
The PanaVise 381 work-holding tool utilizes PanaVise
"split-ball" adjustment functionality at the point of 380 vacuum
base and the included 303 standard head. Once an item is secured
in the vise head, the split-ball system built into the top
portion of the base allows a user to maneuver the item along
three separate planes using a single knob to make the
adjustments. The mobility range of the model 381's split-ball
system is a 90-degree tilt to the side, along with either an
angled rotation, or level turn range of 360 degrees. This range
of mobility allows a user to rearrange work items into any
position, which limits the need to adjust the overall position of
the vise or the item within the vise.
Additional Vise Head Options
----------------------------
In addition to the uses possible with the included, the 381
vacuum base PanaVise is intended for use across a wide range of
applications and is designed to be compatible with a variety of
vise heads. The base works with all PanaVise 300 series vise
heads, the PV Jr. model 203 head or any 5/8" diameter shaft tool
accessory.
