PANAVISE

PANAVISE is a US-based manufacturer of workholding and positioning equipment, known for its multi-angle vise systems used in electronics assembly, soldering, repair, and light industrial tasks. The brand's product line centers on vises with heads that rotate and tilt, allowing users to position small to medium workpieces at precise angles without repositioning the base. PANAVISE vises are commonly specified for light-duty applications where portability, quick setup, and repeatable positioning matter more than high clamping force. The product family includes standard multi-angle vises, circuit board holders, vacuum-base models, swivel-type vises, and micrometer-adjusted vises. Jaw face widths range from 1/4 inch to 10 inches, with maximum jaw openings from 1/2 inch to 12 inches, and throat depths up to 2 inches. Jaw types include smooth, neoprene-padded, and vertical grooved, each suited to different workpiece materials and holding requirements. Bases are available in vacuum, weighted, or clamp-on configurations, and many models include a PanaVise base for 360-degree rotation and tilt. These vises are typically used in benchtop environments for tasks such as circuit board assembly, soldering, wire harness work, component inspection, and small-part machining. The design emphasizes accessibility: the ball-and-socket joint allows the work to be angled toward the operator, reducing fatigue and improving visibility. Construction is primarily metal, with some models featuring neoprene jaw pads to prevent marring. 3G Electric supplies PANAVISE multi-angle vises, bases, and replacement parts to industrial and electronics customers worldwide. The catalog includes models identified by manufacturer part numbers such as 333, 396, 201, 301, 209, 381, 324, and 391, covering light-duty and precision applications. 3G Electric supports the line with global logistics, technical documentation, and access to replacement components. For plant engineers and maintenance managers, PANAVISE vises offer a compact, adjustable workholding solution that integrates into existing benches and production cells without requiring dedicated fixturing. The product range is not intended for heavy machining or high-force clamping; instead, it fills the niche of precise, low-force positioning for delicate or small components. This makes it relevant to electronics manufacturing, repair depots, prototyping labs, and educational workshops. When specifying a PANAVISE vise, buyers should consider jaw face width, maximum jaw opening, throat depth, jaw type, and base mounting method. These parameters determine compatibility with the workpiece and the work surface. 3G Electric provides these specifications in its catalog to facilitate selection. The brand's vises are often used alongside soldering irons, inspection microscopes, and small hand tools. Because the vises are portable and can be moved between workstations, they are also used in field service kits and mobile repair setups. 3G Electric maintains inventory of both current and legacy PANAVISE models, helping customers standardize on a single workholding platform across multiple sites. For procurement specialists, the availability of replacement parts and bases extends the service life of the vises and reduces downtime. In summary, PANAVISE multi-angle vises are a specialized workholding category for light-duty, precision positioning tasks. 3G Electric supplies the full range of models and accessories, backed by global shipping and technical support.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about PANAVISE from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between the PANAVISE 301 and the PANAVISE 396?

The PANAVISE 301 (SKU 3KZJ9) is a standard multi-angle vise with a 2-1/2 inch jaw face width and a 2-1/4 inch maximum jaw opening, featuring smooth jaws. The PANAVISE 396 (SKU 3KZK6) is a swivel-type multi-angle vise with a 6-inch jaw face width, a 6-inch maximum jaw opening, and a 1-7/8 inch throat depth, and it includes neoprene jaw pads. The 396 offers a larger capacity and a swivel base, while the 301 is more compact and suited to smaller workpieces. Both are light-duty models intended for benchtop positioning.

What base options are available for PANAVISE multi-angle vises?

PANAVISE multi-angle vises are available with several base types. The standard PanaVise base provides 360-degree rotation and tilt, as seen on model 201 (SKU 3KZK4). Vacuum-base models, such as the 209 (SKU 40N526) and 381 (SKU 3KZK2), are designed for mounting on smooth surfaces. Some models, like the 324 (SKU 3KZK8), are swivel-type. The base determines how the vise attaches to the work surface and the range of motion. Selection depends on the work surface and the required positioning flexibility.

Can PANAVISE vises be used for soldering circuit boards?

Yes, several PANAVISE models are specifically designed for circuit board work. The PANAVISE Circuit Board Holder (SKU 40N546, MPN 333) has a 10-inch jaw face width and a 12-inch maximum jaw opening, with smooth jaws. This model is suited to holding circuit boards during assembly and soldering. Other multi-angle vises, such as the 396 (SKU 3KZK6) with neoprene jaw pads, can also hold boards without marring. The multi-angle adjustment allows the board to be tilted for access to solder joints. These vises are intended for light-duty tasks and should not be used for high-force operations.

What is the maximum jaw opening available in PANAVISE multi-angle vises?

PANAVISE multi-angle vises offer maximum jaw openings ranging from 1/2 inch to 12 inches, depending on the model. The smallest opening is on the Micrometer Multi-Angle Vise (SKU 40N565, MPN 391) with a 1/2-inch opening. The largest is on the Circuit Board Holder (SKU 40N546, MPN 333) and the swivel-type vise (SKU 3KZK8, MPN 324), both with a 12-inch maximum jaw opening. Intermediate sizes include 2-1/4 inches (models 301 and 381), 3 inches (models 201 and 209), and 6 inches (model 396). Jaw face widths also vary, so both dimensions should be checked against the workpiece.

Are replacement parts available for PANAVISE vises?

3G Electric supplies replacement parts for PANAVISE multi-angle vises, including bases, jaw pads, and other components. The availability of parts allows users to maintain and extend the life of their vises. For specific part numbers, refer to the manufacturer part number of the vise model. Common replacement items include neoprene jaw pads for models like the 396, and vacuum bases for models like the 209 and 381. 3G Electric can provide documentation and logistics support for these parts globally.

What is the throat depth of PANAVISE multi-angle vises?

Throat depth varies by model. The PANAVISE 396 (SKU 3KZK6) has a throat depth of 1-7/8 inches. Models 201 (SKU 3KZK4) and 209 (SKU 40N526) have a throat depth of 2 inches. Other models, such as the 301, 381, 324, and 391, do not list a throat depth in the provided specifications. Throat depth determines the maximum height of the workpiece that can be held vertically. For applications requiring deeper throat capacity, the 201 or 209 may be suitable. Always verify the throat depth against the workpiece dimensions.
