Ordered this vise 5 months back and it finally arrived a three weeks ago. Haven’t installed it yet as I am still thinking about building a new bench or adding this to my existing bench.
Check out Rob’s Best Workbench Video here: https://youtu.be/O0kN1URBUUQ
I made a new leg vise from an old leg vise wooden screw that has almost 2ft jaw opening n started using it more then my end vise. I lined both jaw sets with cork board! Not only does it keep from marking up your stock but the little bit of give let’s it "wrap" around small and odd shaped pieces with UNBELIEVABLE grip! It lets me clamp the crap outta stuff without using a lot of actual pressure on my wooden screw. It’s probably my best shop secret!
I watched the video on the tail vice from Jay Bates. It is awesome to see things from other channels I watch here. I have designed my own workbenches trying to see what will work for me. Seeing your bench you came up with I believe would be a good start to see what will work without spending much at first. Always enjoy the information you create here.
Thanks for sharing those tips and the make!
Damn looks like a great vise for beginner. Just saw hope discount appears again. Cut to convince wife it’s a great investment. Keeps me home. Lol
So you are in charge of vise. Just kidding.
The Moxon is just a tiny, mobile version of a Twin-Screw vice, which is wider, deeper, uses heftier threads, and hangs on. They’re *semi*-rack resistant and can absorb some angling in a piece because the two screws move separately. I often do use an anti-rack block on an opposite corner or edge if things are getting squirreley. I’ve had one attached to my bench for about a year now and have gotten used to its quirks. It’s a great vice in terms of strength, holds things very strongly if they’re square on a few faces, and they can be home-made for relatively cheap.
It may not be a lot of "fun" to spin 3/4" standard thread rods through a few inches of travel, but they get the job done.
Where is this code? Is this from your store?
What about corrosion ? Garages tend to be unheated.
Although I can’t be 100% certain, it really looks like the MDF itself serves as the inner jaw here. Not a big deal? I just built my first bench a few months ago, of a different design, but also with MDF top, and was concerned that work pieces constantly clamped against the MDF would nibble it away fairly soon. Due to a combination of limited experience/equipment and some design specifics, I went to a lot of trouble putting in red oak along that edge. The bench and vise are working well for me, but I wonder if I wasted a lot of hours unnecessarily. Thanks for the video, pretty informative even though it doesn’t directly apply to me at this time.
Sjoberg? SJÖBERGS!
How about the sloppy knuckle on your, "Premium" $500 shoulder vise. That thing wants to moon walk off my bench like Michael Jackson.
Hey Rob thanks for another great video! If you haven’t already checked it out, the twin turbo vise by Andy Klein is a fantastic tool.
You guys are the best!!
I use my Sjoberg vise daily and it is perfect. 3 years later and still no racking! Great video!
I think I will install mine to my new workbench this coming week. Thanks for the tips on installing one.
I made a version of your great MDF bench, with this as the end vice and just noticed the dog hole you put in the side. I think that’s a great idea and can think of ways to use it but am interested in how you use it?
Very informative
No quick release?
Is there some specific reason that your wagon vise has such a long potential travel? I have a bench with two – one on each side. They each have a travel of just the distance of the spacing between two dog holes. I’ve been able to seize any length I needed with one of these. The shorter travel also leaves more stable work area on the bench. Thanks for the discussion.
It’s a shame that the shipping costs to France are so high . It is really the kind I need
Excellent, thanks.
Is 6:25 and 20:35 the same vice?
Hi Rob, is there a specific reason why you are using the Sjöbergs AV15 instead of the ‘Elite’ vise? The difference in weight is nearly double… The Elite version is heavier.
This is an extremely helpful video. Watched you install the vice in the workbench video, but this video actually shows each and every step. Showing how to cut the wood for the vice and making it fit is something I would like to see. Excellent video thanks as always for sharing your expertise!
For my uses, the Roxon style vise works as it has enough slop in it to adjust for the taper on guitar necks.
Is there a link to order the vice?
You Americans and Englishmen should make your life easier, and start using the metric system. 10 millimeter is one centimeter, 100 centimeters is one meter. It actually makes sense compared to what you are using 😜😁 you can thank me later 😉
I have built myself a Scandinavian vice like yours, a bit naif and simple made. But I would like to rebuild it properly. Could you please let me know the width of the jaw and the depth or thickness of the piece you can hold in it? Thank you
Tip: If you line your vise jaws with leather cut the pieces oversized and glue them on using the vise to clamp them. Once the glue dries you can shave the excess leather off with a planer for a perfect fit.
Great video. Is the code here? I can’t see it Rob.
I built the Taige Frid workbench that was in Fine Woodworking 30 years ago. Love it. But would never build that tail vice again. I didn’t understand it until I was almost done building it.
Finally, Rob reveals all his vices. Well, apart from M’A’S’H’ trivia and ice hockey.
Will you please sell me the plans for building your workbench ? Thank you. John Bies , US ARMY Retired.
Thank you!💜
Hi Rob! Did you ever try the benchcrafted vise? Any comments on it?
I love my HNT Gorden
Well designed vice. I went with the 20" twin turbo vice from Andy Klein. I going to mount it on my Cosman bench. I made my bench 24" wide.
What are your thoughts on the Lie_Nielsen vice that clamps on top of the bench
Good question. Or maybe, dumb question. What about the micojig system. Where they run a router with a dovetail bit right down the side of the table and then latch boards down with those micojig match fit clamps.
It’s not exactly a Vice. But it’s not, not a Vice either.
Nice piece of Pink Ivory, where did ya get that???🤔 I like the Shoulder Vise.
Rob your content never disappoints. I’m putting together your shoulder vice on my bench and it is a piece of art!
Thank you for your very informative videos and God Bless you for what you do for the brave service members who keep our nation’s great.
Really wish you would make a video on how to build the Scandinavian shoulder vice
I was in need of a bench vise since building my workbench almost 2 years ago, I originally ordered a Rockler branded one but it never showed up, and their customer service was so bad, I wasn’t going to order from them again. After watching this, I splurged on the one you recommended and with your sale price, even with the 40$ shipping to US (that I know you can’t do anything about) your price was right on with all other online vendors. But one big thing here, is you showed you had them in stock, where as every other vendor had no estimated date as they were drop shipping. Anyway a hour or so after placing my order, I couldn’t believe that the missed call I had was you leaving a nice voicemail thanking me for my order and letting me know it was shipping out the following day. Thank you.
I can attest to the ease of use and adjustments, when I was there for the August PHP class (as a civilian ) their was a bench that needed to be adjusted. It took longer to get the wrenches than to tighten the bolt and get back to cutting dovetails. The vise is worth the investment !
Was a bit surprised you did not mention Andy Klein’s Twin Turbo Vise. Was interested in your opinion of it. Enjoyed this post Rob, TY and TY for what u do for all of the veterans as I am one myself.
Rob, I didn’t see the discount in the description.
Glad you mentioned Frank Klausz. I met him at a Woodworking Show about 20 years ago. He convinced me to cut dovetails pins first after I had been cutting tails first for nearly 20 years. So far, your videos haven’t been able to convince me to go back.
