The split vice has been developed to hold the workpiece on pleno miller, milling machines and drilling machines in machine shops. Workpieces such as forgings, l type plates or other angled type plates are normally clamped by bolts and clamping plates, but while doing so, they often move. The spilt vice helps positive clamping. It can also be used for holding chemical valves, machine assemblies, etc. For maintenance. In a split vice, the fixed jaw is separate from the slide, and due to this it can be set for any length as per table size of the machine, the movement of the sliding jaw is mechanical and when it touches the workpiece, a hydraulic force develops by rotating the auxiliary screw. The hydraulic unit is built in the sliding jaw and no extra equipment such as power pack or hand pump is needed. Due to hydraulic force development, no hammering is required on the crank of the split vice.
