A jig comprising a plurality of clamping heads arranged in an adjustment device, with each clamping head comprising two elements adjustable in different planes, with one of the actuating elements connected with a suction part which comes to contact the work piece and a vacuum thus pulls the work piece towards this clamping head. The adjustment arrangement is laid out in such a way that each clamping head is movable in elevational, longitudinal, and transverse directions and because of its adjustment possibility any position on the work piece to be machined is accessible.
