The jaws are modular for different sizes of vises. As pictured is the smallest. A larger member is in the works that will hold two of these in each jaw. As pictured is the ideal size for PalmControl vises and PalmControl CamLock vises. Still in the works is the larger nesting support that nest two of these on each side. Therefore it will require two sets of plus the large support nest for them. This is coming hopefully sooner than later, depending on the other orders work load that we are working though. Be sure to see
the
information below about lining jaw faces with leather if desired

 PalmControl
vise - MorphVise informationFor fitting your PalmControl vise the pin distance needs to be the correct height. Check your vise's pin height by first removing the pin plates from the top of the jaws by removing the two screws, then lift up to remove. Under each pin plate you will find a pin. Insert this pin in the top of the jaw and measure its height. The pin height needed for holding a MorphJaw is between 5/8" and 1/2". If yours is over or under this length order replacement pins the length needed to make the height requirement. See two examples below. |
If you will be using the MorphJaw on a PalmControl vise check your current pin height and order replacement pins if needed.
Check your pin fit. Your pin should be a close slip fit (no force) into the hole of the vise jaw. |

 This pin is sticking out under 1/2" high therefore longer pins need to be ordered. Remove the pin and measure. For example this one is 1" long, so the next size that needs to be ordered is. 1-1/8". |
 This pin measures just right since it measures between 5/8" and 1/2", therefore no replacement pins are needed. If yours happens to measure right at 1/2" it is recommend to go a head and order the next size up so that the height is 5/8". |

Depending on what you are holding you may want to line the faces of
the jaws with leather. The steps so that you can do this
yourself are included with jaws. A shammy works well for the
leather from your local hardware store. Or you may order the
leather here.
