Rapid Action Vice with Front Dog

A traditional pattern woodworking vice equipped with the quick release mechanism. Simply pressing the trigger initiates the quick action, with the front jaw sliding freely, thereby allowing large or small work pieces to be interchanged smoothly. Releasing the trigger returns the mechanism to normal for fine adjustment. A very useful feature in repetitive work situations Vices are equipped with an adjustable front dog which when used in conjunction with a bench stop allows oversize work pieces too large to be held between the jaws, to be securely held. This useful addition provides a normal vice and a tail vice in one tool. Manufactured from close-grained grey cast iron, these robust vices have accurately machined housings for smooth sliding movement and true parallel action free of side or cross movement Vice jaws are equipped with a “TOE – IN” feature. When fully closed the jaws meet only at the top to provide even clamping on the whole depth of the work piece.
