Woodsmith Bench Vise Standard Plan & Premium Shop Drawings
The design is based on a traditional style of vise once common in Europe. Stout hardwood jaws and rugged Acme threaded rods deliver all the clamping force of a standard vise but in a compact package. The narrow, profiled jaws let you work on a piece from a variety of angles. Perhaps best of all, the vise is elevated so it’s a real back-saver. The plan provides three ways to attach it to just about any worksurface or bench.
You can purchase the Woodsmith Bench Vise standard plan or the supplemental premium shop drawings as a downloadable PDF or in a printed format that we ship to you. We highly recommend purchasing both the standard plan and the supplemental premium shop drawings for more in-depth instructions and greater detail.
Raise your work to a whole new level. This vise provides a solid grip and all-around access.
