Abstract: An apparatus for inhibiting movement of a workpiece comprises a bed, a pair of opposed vise jaws associated with and extending from the bed, each of the jaws having a gripping surface and at least one of the jaws being movable for gripping and releasing the workpiece positioned between the jaws, and a movable projection member rotatably disposed in a recess in the gripping surface of one of the jaws, where the projection member is extendable outwardly in a direction generally transverse to the gripping surface between the pair of jaws for being positioned above the workpiece when the workpiece is positioned between the jaws without exerting a substantial force on the workpiece to inhibit fly-away movement of the workpiece.

Abstract: An improved scroll saw blade holder includes a one-piece body having a base and a pair of arms which extend transversely from the base and define an open area therebetween. A slot is provided in the base extending entirely through the base into the open area and extending only partially through the base in a direction generally perpendicular to a plane of the body so that the body remains integral in the base at the slot. A clip is provided on the body and includes a positioning plate which is received in the slot. The positioning plate is located adjoining a set screw in a threaded bore extending from the slot to one side of the body. A portion of a scroll saw blade is received and clamped in the slot between the positioning plate and a side of the slot opposite the threaded bore with the set screw. Scroll saw blades with or without mounting pins may be accommodated.
