Abstract
In the past, when machining operations were allocated minutes rather than timed in split seconds, and accuracy was limited by machine deflection under load, the time spent and precision obtained in clamping the workpiece to the machine tool were of little consequence. The manually operated chucks and mandrels were used for rotating components, whereas vices and a variety of table clamps - based upon the ubiquitous T-slot - catered for stationary, or prismatic parts.
