Veritas Twin-Screw Vice

Product Description

The Veritas Twin Screw Vice is the only non-racking full-width end vice on the market. You can clamp anything anywhere in the vice and the jaws stay parallel. The chain drive ensures parallelism and eliminates the racking common in other vices. It can be operated using either handle.

Even better, a spring-loaded lock pin lets you disengage the chain for controlled jaw skewing needed to equalise pressure on slightly out-of-square work. The vice has a 12”capacity.

To build it, you will require two hardwood jaws. The vice is an easy retrofit to an existing bench, requiring only the addition of two pieces: an end cap drilled for the vice nuts and fixing bolts, plus the vice jaw itself. The aluminium chain cover consists of two cast end caps and a bridging extrusion, and must be cut to length for mounting at other than the maximum spacing.

The vice is available in two models………………..

1. The standard vice accommodates vice screw centres up to 16 7/8”.
2. For anyone requiring wider jaw capacity, the second model accommodates vice screw centres up to 24”, with sufficient chain to match.

The two vice screws, nuts, chain cover, wooden handles and all installation hardware are included with complete mounting instructions. (A 1 1/2”bit is needed to drill four holes.) Excellent value in a powerful vice.
