Your Pattern Maker’s Vise is designed to hold any object, from those with parallel sides to those with tapers or even double tapers. To hold tapered objects, you will need the tilting plate which fits into the vice’s back jaw using a ½” dog hole. If holding parallel objects this tilting plate is not required. The tilting plate is an additional purchase and is not included in the price of the vise.

You can also custom make a tapered jaw to hold a particular job you have. This can be held in the back jaw using a ½” dowel in the corresponding dog hole.

The Pattern Maker’s Vise will hold objects up to 6” wide. This is reduced to 4 3/4” when using the tilting plate. The jaws are 13-3/8” long by 6-3/8” high.

In both cases, the vise will rotate 360° to give four different working heights and any angle in between. The vise will also tilt 90° from vertical to horizontal and is capable of being locked at any angle.

This vise has the new generation precision non-racking design which gives you significant holding power with little force on the crank handle. If using your vise a lot, this will significantly reduce your workload over the course of a day.
