Unlike traditional vises with jaws that open horizontally, this heavy duty vise opens vertically, allowing you to clamp forming stakes and steel mandrels firmly in its grooved jaws. Because the downward force of hammering transfers directly to the jaws, your stake/mandrel will not rotate in the vise once it's secured. The 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" (89 x 89 mm) jaws have two grooves: one running back-to-front; the other side-to-side, allowing stakes to be mounted in either direction. Maximum jaw opening is 1 5/8" (41 mm). The vise can be secured to your work surface using either the integral C-clamp or bolted directly to the surface using the four holes in the corners of the base. Constructed of solid steel for maximum durability. Perfect for mounting our Double-Ended Forming Stake Set or a number of our bracelet, forming, ring, and bezel mandrels (see related products below).

For a limited time, purchase the Vertical Bench Vise and receive a FREE set of five mandrels: round and cut corner square forming mandrels; round, square, and oval bezel mandrels.
