Carbatec Pattern Makers and Guitar or Luthier's Vice

Features unique swivel-jaw mounting bolts as standard (also available separately)* Exclusive to Carbatec.

This versatile Pattern Makers Vice is also known as a Luthier's Vice or Guitar Maker's Vice, but they are equally suited to all manner of woodwork.

The major benefit of this vise over traditional units is its ability to hold irregularly shaped or tapered objects. This is facilitated through its rotating jaws, each capable of a full 360° of rotation. As a result, it can in fact be used to hold pieces in "spreader" format ie: by pushing out, as well as clamping!

The entire vice mounts to your workbench through a minimum 16mm hole, meaning it will also mount through your standard 19mm dog holes and is easily removable. The whole vice is also able to rotate 360°, which combined with the rotating jaws, provides unparalleled versatility and access to your workpiece.

Polyurethane soft pads line the large (replaceable) wooden face jaws, providing sure grip while limiting marking of your piece. The 125 x 70mm (approx.) jaws open up to 140mm for large job holding capacity.
