A bench is just a wooden table until you fit a decent vice. These vices will make you and your bench look like true professionals even if it is only in the evenings and at weekends. The vices are available in three jaw widths: 175mm(7”) opening to 195mm(7.3/4”), 225mm(9”) opening to 250mm(10”) and 266mm(10.1/2") opening to 300mm.

All are equipped with an adjustable front dog. The jaws have an intentional ‘toe-in’ for maximum pressure transfer - the jaw is tilted inwards. Because the force/pressure is perpendicular to the toe-in angle this feature, found on many woodworking devices and clamps, helps to avoid the problems of racking (the tendency of the wood and the bar to bend upwards when under pressure).
