Veritas Quick-Release Front Vise

Veritas Quick-Release Front Vise

If you’re looking for a woodworking vise with rock solid material holding performance, ease of installation and great features, consider this Quick-Release Front Vise by Veritas. Flip up a simple lever to disengage the Acme-threaded center screw to pull and push the vise freely and smoothly to accommodate your stock. Flip the lever down to engage the threads then turn the handle for tightening.

Overall travel for the screw mechanism is a robust 12-1/4″ (less the thickness of your wooden jaw and bench apron). The close tolerance machining minimizes jaw sag, even when fully extended. An extruded aluminum cover over the main screw protects your work from touching oily lubrication and keeps debris from the threads. This vise can apply up to 400 lbs, of force clamping (and spreading).

Perfect for a new bench design or for retrofitting an existing bench, the vise mounting footprint needed for bolting it to the underside of your bench measures 12″ wide x 16″ deep (with a 2″ thick bench apron and a 1-3/4″ thick jaw).

Includes a hardwood handle with screw cap ends. Wooden jaw pad not included. The instructions show fabricating a wooden jaw at 18″ wide, though you can make it shorter as needed.

Designed and made in Canada to the exacting standards you’ve come to know and expect from Veritas®. Patent pending.
