This Heavy-Duty Quick-Release Pivot Jaw Woodworking Vise is built for professional craftsmen, serious woodworkers, and dedicated DIYers who demand heavy-duty construction, smooth operation, and dependable clamping. Designed to handle everything from fine joinery to large-scale projects, it delivers rock-solid performance in any workshop.
The pivoting front jaw, which tilt up to 12°, adjusts instantly to grip tapered or irregular workpieces securely. The pivot jaw can be removed or raised to act as a wide bench dog. The vise includes 5/8"-thick padded wooden jaws to protect delicate workpieces while maintaining a firm grip.
The quick-release mechanism allows you to reposition the jaws in seconds without endless cranking: simply turn the handle counterclockwise ½ turn to disengage, make rapid adjustments, and then turn clockwise to re-engage the screw. A 4 TPI Acme-threaded main screw provides a smooth-turning, powerful, self-locking hold.
A massive 2-1/2" x 2" central guide bar made from 3/16” thick steel virtually eliminates racking and ensures the jaws remain parallel under pressure.
The oversized jaws are built to handle almost any task. With the pivoting jaw and pads installed, the vise opens to 7-1/2"; with them removed, it provides a full 10" capacity.
For installation, the vise can be securely bolted to any workbench up to 3-1/4" thick using the 3/8" bolt holes (shims may be required for thinner benches).
This is a massive vise, weighing in at 34 lbs., built to last and to perform.
