Anti-racking vise spacer

I will have one of those by this time tomorrow! Then I can pitch that pile of pieces I have stacked near the vise that I use for anti-rackers. What a good (Simple) idea. Thanks for posting this tip.

I’m doing it. Thank you, great idea!

That is such a helpful idea. I’m frequently looking around for the right sized scrap to use as a spacer in the vice, and then of course it falls through every time I loosen the vice. This simple spacer handles both tasks. It will be the first thing I make tomorrow morning when I head down to my workshop.

Gfadvm, that’s the best complement I could ask for. Thanks!

Kranky, yup love simple! Just cutting out all those extra steps, so we have more time to post on LJ.

Grant, welcome to the ARVS-club. I think we should all be doing it, right. Just do it with moderation.

It’s a great jig. I made one out of 1/4-inch hardboard, and I use it all the time.

That’s a project that has “copy me” all over it.

Sign me up for the ARVS club – you may have just saved my vice from an untimely replacement (painful though that may be). Thank you

Thanks for the tip. Simplicity at its finest. I love it!

Phil, great idea to use hard board for this spacer.

Tootles, you are in, member of the ARVS-club. I still have a position open for secretary in the club, what do you think? I am glad you did not send your vise into early retirement.

Doug, I am just a simple man, with simple ideas, making simple jigs. I am glad you love it.

That’s one of those “why didn’t I think of that” items that hits you upside the head! Definitely on my list of things I need to make. Thanks for posting this, PaBull
