Vise of your dreams?

So, it’s a twin screw vise installed vertically?

Looks like a well fit rod to me.

You are right, Topamax. I looked again carefully and it is a well fit rod. Nice idea. The only drawback is that pinned vise (or twin screw for that matter) allow some slop on purpose to clamp out of square items.

I had to do a double take on it too :-))

To actually be on-topic this time, shouldn’t a vise like this have a protective pin in order to protect the wooden screw itself? I know that my Veritas twin screw vise recommends these pins (even though I chose to not include them because the screws are steel). Just wondering why this is not even mentioned…

A pattern makers vise would float my boat. I like the
versatility of them and the holding strength they
produce.

Does anyone have the Tilt Adjustment Mechanism
for an Emmerts Pattern Makers vise? I know they’re
on ebay, I was wondering if someone has one and wants
to get rid of it.

Thanks for the spelling lesson Mike. I just went back and changed “vice” to “vise” about 500 times in my three project posts and their associated blogs , videos and sketchups detailing my V8 Bench concept.
The annoying thing is that I immediately knew you were right….. I knew better!

David, No, I’m not at war with the English. We beat them twice, then came to save them once ;-)

Mike, I have always wondered why there isn’t something to protect the wooden screw threads, but I have never seen one that had any protection.
