Abstract
Abstract A vice that firmly holds a work piece between flat substantially parallel jaws. A saw access guide together with an opening in the fixed jaw and base makes it possible for the device to be maneuvered on the table of a band saw so that the saw severs the work piece while the vice holds the work piece firmly clamped.
