This versatile cast iron tabletop vise features a double set of fully rotating jaws. It is 2-1/2'' wide, with corrugated gripping surfaces, and three sizes of grooves to hold small round stock. It has a maximum opening width of 2- 1/4''. A flat 1 x 2'' area on top of the main body acts as a useful anvil-type surface, and the entire vise assembly rotates 360 on the base.
Notably, tightening the set of jaws onto your item (or tightening the base rotation lock) locks both of these rotations--a very handy and timesaving feature. The whole assembly clamps solidly to any surface up to 1- 5/8'' thick (but also has 3 bolt holes for more permanent mounting). This is a perfect ''in-between'' size--neither a big HD vise nor a small crafts vise, it has a huge range of functions, and is a real beauty that anyone with a small- to medium-sized shop will go to all the time. Beautifully thought through and a great value.
