21xdc Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Has anyone tried these? I'm probably getting one, But looking for others opinions. One hand operation, Holds up to 6" worth of molds and 300lbs of force. Only $39.00 https://www.woodcraft.com/products/woodriver-6-quick-vise?variant=43401654534282&gStoreCode=310&gQT=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiderunner Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Interesting item. But if you have a spot to mount a permanent vise, would that be better? Would this slide away if not held tightly and injector at an angle? And for less money, a regular clamp would do the same job. Same force too. How wide and tall are the padded jaws? It doesn't give that dimension, only the 6" capacity. Even though I had those questions, I'd still give it a try. If you get one share a review with us.

21xdc Posted February 12 Author Report Share Posted February 12 Thinking I could use a bar clamp on top if need be. This can be screwed or clamped to the table top as well. Leaving it loose allows for you to orientate the mold in any direction for laminates unlike a typical bench vise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if this could be mounted. I was looking at the pic looking for screw holes. This vise could probably do extra duty beyond holding molds. Looks like it could be pretty useful on the workbench. Again, too bad they don't give the dimensions of the padded jaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiderunner Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Make sure you report back here pros and cons. Like I said, I can see more use for the vise beyond bait making. It seems like it could be a pretty good extra pair of hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted February 14 Author Report Share Posted February 14 I like the pneumatic clamps that many use, and thought this might bridge that gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
