Vise Types
Face vises attach to bench front. Tail vises work with bench dogs. Twin-screw vises clamp wide panels. Quick-release speeds operation.
Size Considerations
Larger jaws hold more work. Heavy vises require sturdy benches. Consider mounting height and reach. Match vise to typical work.
Jaw Protection
Wood faces prevent marring. Leather or cork alternatives work. Replace faces when damaged. Different materials suit different work.
Installation Tips
Mount securely to bench structure. Check alignment before final fastening. Test operation through full range. Adjust as needed over time.
