These vices are Australian Made, made from robust castings and are designed with generous jaw area which gives even clamping on the whole depth of the workpiece. Long life is assured with replaceable nut, corrosion resistant screw and handle.The square body seating enables easy fitting to work bench and large diameter slide bars run in accurately machined guide holes to provide a smooth parallel movement. Vice body and sliding jaw have provision for attaching wooden liners to protect the vice, work piece and working tools.
This vice incorporates an adjustable steel peg built in to the front of the vice which when extended protrudes above the top of the bench. This allows long pieces or timber to be held against a stop onthe bench top whilst planning, routing, chiselling etc.
