A device for holding a workpiece, the device comprising, in one form, a base and a jaw member, wherein the jaw member includes a detachable jaw plate. The jaw member can further include a lock assembly which can attach or affix the jaw plate to the jaw member. In at least one embodiment, the lock assembly can include a cam, or lock, configured to pull the jaw plate toward the jaw member and/or secure the jaw plate against the jaw member. In certain embodiments, the lock assembly can include a slide which can be moved by an actuator such that the slide can engage the jaw plate and move the jaw plate into position. In at least one such embodiment, the slide can pull the jaw plate against the jaw member and, in addition, pull the jaw plate downwardly against a workpiece support surface.

1. A device for holding a workpiece, said device comprising: a base including a workpiece support surface;a first jaw member; anda second jaw member, wherein one of said first jaw member and said second jaw member is movable relative to the other of said first jaw member and said second jaw member,
1. A device for holding a workpiece, said device comprising: a base including a workpiece support surface;a first jaw member; anda second jaw member, wherein one of said first jaw member and said second jaw member is movable relative to the other of said first jaw member and said second jaw member, wherein said first jaw member and said second jaw member are configured to hold a workpiece therebetween, said second jaw member including: a jaw base;a removable jaw plate, wherein said removable jaw plate comprises a work-piece engaging face facing said first jaw member, and wherein said work-piece engaging face does not include through holes defined therein;a slide movable between a first position and a second position, wherein said slide is configured to move said jaw plate toward said jaw base and said workpiece support surface when said slide is moved between said first position and said second position; andan actuator configured to move said slide between said first position and said second position. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein said slide is configured to position said jaw plate against said workpiece support surface. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein said second position is closer to said workpiece support surface than said first position. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein said slide is configured to be moved along a slide axis, and wherein said slide axis is oriented at an approximately 84 degree angle with respect to said workpiece support surface. 5. The device of claim 1, further comprising a jaw plate adaptor mounted to said jaw base, wherein said actuator and said slide are at least partially mounted within said jaw plate adaptor. 6. The device of claim 1, wherein said second jaw member further includes a detent member configured to engage said jaw plate and releasably hold said jaw plate in position. 7. The device of claim 1, further comprising a guide post extending from said jaw base, wherein said jaw plate comprises a slot defined therein, and wherein said slot is configured to receive said guide post when said jaw plate is assembled to said jaw base. 8. A device for holding a workpiece, said device comprising: a base including a workpiece support surface;a first jaw member; anda second jaw member, wherein one of said first jaw member and said second jaw member is movable relative to the other of said first jaw member and said second jaw member, wherein said first jaw member and said second jaw member are configured to hold a workpiece therebetween, said second jaw member including: a jaw base, wherein said jaw base comprises a track that defines a travel path, and wherein said travel path is arranged at an angle relative to said workpiece support surface;a removable jaw plate;a slide slidably engaged with said track, wherein said slide is movable between a first position and a second position along said travel path, wherein said slide is configured to move said jaw plate toward said jaw base and said workpiece support surface when said slide is moved between said first position and said second position along said travel path; andan actuator configured to move said slide between said first position and said second position along said travel path. 9. The device of claim 8, wherein said slide is configured to position said jaw plate against said workpiece support surface. 10. The device of claim 8, wherein said second position is closer to said workpiece support surface than said first position. 11. The device of claim 8, wherein said track is oriented at an approximately 84 degree angle with respect to said workpiece support surface. 12. The device of claim 8, further comprising a jaw plate adaptor mounted to said jaw base, wherein said actuator and said slide are at least partially mounted within said jaw plate adaptor. 13. The device of claim 8, wherein said second jaw member further includes a detent member configured to engage said jaw plate and releasably hold said jaw plate in position. 14. The device of claim 8, further comprising a guide post extending from said jaw base, wherein said jaw plate comprises a slot defined therein, and wherein said slot is configured to receive said guide post when said jaw plate is assembled to said jaw base. 15. A device for holding a workpiece, said device comprising: a base including a workpiece support surface;a first jaw member; anda second jaw member, wherein one of said first jaw member and said second jaw member is movable relative to the other of said first jaw member and said second jaw member, wherein said first jaw member and said second jaw member are configured to hold a workpiece therebetween, said second jaw member including: a jaw base, wherein said jaw base comprises a front surface facing said first jaw member;a removable jaw plate;a slide movable between a first position and a second position, wherein said slide is configured to move said jaw plate toward said front surface of said jaw base and said workpiece support surface when said slide is moved between said first position and said second position, wherein said slide protrudes from said front surface of said jaw base by a first amount in said first position and by a second amount in said second position, and wherein said first amount is greater than said second amount; andan actuator configured to move said slide between said first position and said second position. 16. The device of claim 15, wherein said slide is configured to position said jaw plate against said workpiece support surface. 17. The device of claim 15, wherein said second position is closer to said workpiece support surface than said first position. 18. The device of claim 15, wherein said slide is configured to be moved along a slide axis, and wherein said slide axis is oriented at an approximately 84 degree angle with respect to said workpiece support surface. 19. The device of claim 15, further comprising a jaw plate adaptor mounted to said jaw base, wherein said actuator and said slide are at least partially mounted within said jaw plate adaptor. 20. The device of claim 15, wherein said second jaw member further includes a detent member configured to engage said jaw plate and releasably hold said jaw plate in position. 21. The device of claim 15, further comprising a guide post extending from said jaw base, wherein said jaw plate comprises a slot defined therein, and wherein said slot is configured to receive said guide post when said jaw plate is assembled to said jaw base.
