The Surface Vice ensures you can make the maximum use of the dog holes in your bench. It combines the holding functions of a quick-release tail vice with the portability of a bench dog. You can position it at any angle, on a vertical or horizontal face. As clamping takes place between the vice jaw and any fixed stop, the only limit to its capacity is size of your bench’s top. The two posts mount in 19mm (3/4") holes. The front post has a clearance hole to guide the clamping rod. A wedging mechanism anchors it firmly in through-holes in worktops as thin as 25mm. The rear post has a quick-release mechanism for fast adjustment. Rotating the post slightly disengages the threads, allowing the rod to slide freely. Re-aligning the post engages the threads for clamping. If used in blind rather than through holes the front post requires a minimum depth of 34mm and the rear 50mm. The 480mm long rod has a stainless-steel swivel handle for applying clamping force in any position. The jaw is removable, held in place by magnets and drilled ready for you to attach customised jaws for specialised work. It projects only 19mm above the work surface, giving virtually unobstructed access to your work piece. This is a very versatile vice.
