Pattern Makers Vice Guitar or Luthiers Vice

New and improved! Now features new style of swivel jaw mounting bolts as standard (also available separately)*

This versatile Pattern Makers Vise is also known as a Luthier's Vise or Guitar Makers Vise, but they are equally suited to all manner of woodwork.

The major benefit of this vise over traditional units is its ability to hold irregularly shaped or tapered objects. This is facilitated through its rotating jaws, each capable of a full 360° of rotation. As a result, it can in fact be used to hold pieces in "spreader" format ie: by pushing out, as well as clamping!

The entire vise mounts to your workbench through a minimum 16mm hole, meaning it will also mount through your standard 19mm dog holes and is easily removable. The whole vise is also able to rotate 360°, which combined with the rotating jaws, provides unparalleled versatility and access to your workpiece.

Polyurethane soft pads line the large (replaceable) wooden face jaws, providing sure grip while limiting marking of your piece. The 125 x 70mm (approx.) jaws open up to 140mm for large job holding capacity.

This vise will quickly become your go-to work holding solution and indeed, has proven very popular!
