Introducing the SMW PlugJack - a dual-function low profile machinist's jack and repeatable vise endstop! Compatible with 1/2" SMW Fixture Plates and Modular Vises.

Machinist's Jack

Insert a fixture plate plug into the jack screw for use as a jack to stabilize larger parts and eliminate vibrations. 

Vise Endstop

With a precision pin similar to our 1/2" Fixturing Pin integrated into the jack base the PlugJack base can be repeatably located within a 1/2" bore. The jack screw uses a chamfer to accurately seat on the PlugJack base. With the jack fully tightened a dowel pin can be inserted into the jack screw for use as a repeatable vise endstop.

Gen3 Available Now! Improvements include:

• Finer-pitch jack screw for better jack height resolution
  
• Addition of a lock nut, allowing the height and orientation of the jack screw to be locked in place
• Slightly wider jack pad
• Improved functionality as an endstop:
• Dowel pin can still be used as it is in the Gen2 product
• For lower-profile use, the flat of the jack screw hex head can be used as an endstop by fixing the jack screw in place with the lock nut (see last photo!)
