Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The PanaVise 350 multipurpose work center is a compact work-holding tool bundle designed to hold larger, heavier objects. The 350 multipurpose work center features a head that opens up to 9", removable neoprene jaw pads, and a tray mount with six built-in parts wells. The components are mounted around a PanaVise 300 standard base, which features compatibility with additional tool and vise head options, and PanaVise "split-ball" functionality utilizing single-knob controls for head movement through 3 separate planes (tilt, turn and rotate).

The all-in-one compact work station for holding larger, heavier objects.

The Compact Work Station for Larger, Heavier Objects

The PanaVise 350 multipurpose work center is made up of three PanaVise components: the 376 extra-wide opening vise head, the 300 standard base and the 312 parts tray mount. The 376 vise head opens up to 9", and has "double-action" jaws. This configuration allows for fast opening and closing, as both sides of the jaws move simultaneously when the vise is cranked. The jaws self-center, which ensures a good fit against items, and allows the contact points of jaws to be reversed, providing 'zero' closure when a user needs to secure very small items. The unit ships with reversible and removable 1-7/8" neoprene jaw pads. One side of the pads has multiple grooves designed for flat surfaces, while the other has a wide "V" groove to hold round objects. The 300 standard base connects the 376 head component to the 312 part tray mount. Pre-drilled tapped holes in the aluminum 312 parts tray mount allow it to be attached to the 300 standard base. The 4-5/16" tray diameter and weight (1.4 lbs.) add to the overall stability. The 312 parts tray mount contains six integrated part wells with rounded edges that ease parts grasping. The tray also contains three pre-drilled and tapped 1/4"-20 holes to secure additional accessories.

Tilt, Turn and Rotate Functionality

The PanaVise PanaVise 350 multipurpose work center utilizes PanaVise single knob "split-ball" functionality at the point of contact between its base and vise head attachment. Once an item is secured within the head, the base's the split-ball adjustment system allows for maneuvering along three separate planes. The complete mobility range is a 90-degree tilt to the side, along with either an angled rotation or a level turn range of 360 degrees. This range of mobility allows a user to rearrange a work item into any position, and eliminates the need to adjust the overall position of the work station.

Additional Head Options

Although the PanaVise 350 multipurpose work center is intended for use with the included 376 extra wide opening vise head attachment, it is also compatible with a range of other vise head accessories. The base works with all PanaVise 300 series vise heads, as well as the PV Jr. model 203 head, or any other tool accessory with a 5/8" diameter shaft.

The PanaVise 350 is a great third hand. It's solid and yet flexible. I'm using it as a soldering station. When I'm soldering it holds the boards perfectly stable. I have used Panavises for years, they have never dissapointed me.

The vice does what I intended it for. Holding small parts to paint/hold. The vice/holding fixture rotates and user friendly. I would buy again. Well constructed.

I use the PV 350 without screwing it onto the table and I was surprise how stable it is, due it's low center of gravity. The jaws are precisely adjustable so that you can use just the right amount of pressure to hold but not destroy your work object. The tiny trays are helpful indeed. The relative small size allows you to store it easily. I switch often between different extensions witch can be done easily and quickly.
