This versatile workbench accessory is remarkably simple and quick to build, offering the ability to stabilize boards with incredible force during various joinery, shaping, or carving operations. It also allows for raising the workpiece to a more comfortable and ergonomic height. Its high portability enables quick mounting on numerous surfaces, and when not in use, it can be stowed away on a shelf or hung on a wall.
In a traditional Moxon Vise, both screws are attached to the rear jaw, held secure by four nuts, with two mortised in the rear jaw flush with the front surface. However, this design leaves both screws protruding from the front jaw, potentially interfering with the user. Our improved Moxon Vise Hardware Kit addresses this issue by embedding threads in the rear jaw, allowing both rods to pass through the back jaw as the front jaw is opened and closed, leaving the front unobstructed. Additionally, the screws ride in steel bushings, reducing friction and simplifying construction, as nuts no longer require hand mortising in the rear jaw.
This Moxon Vise hardware kit, despite being economical, includes high-quality 3/4-10 threaded rods, nuts, washers, and cast knobs—everything needed (excluding wood) to create a fully functional Moxon Vise. Kits come with links to download plans for different vises. These plans provide measured drawings and comprehensive instructions for the construction process, but customization options abound. You can tailor it to your preferred width, height, and wood choice, offering a multitude of possibilities for individualization.
