Sometimes, I need to improvise. I think this is made a little too cheaply for that kind of finagling. I have been using this vise for about 3 years. When I first received it, I was more then pleased with it and it's performance. Then last week, it jammed on me. I could not turn the handle to close the jaws, so I backed it off a little and kept trying.

But the vise would not close and eventually locked up. I disassembled the vise and found that the two gears were jammed against one another. After further investigation and finally getting the main gear off. I found that the shaft which the gear was on, was completely round. I expected to find a flat spot for the set screw to push against.

I could tell that over time, the set screw was dragging over the surface of the shaft and finally had let go. I reassembled the vise and tightened the set screw. This only lasted a few turns before the gear moved again, jamming the two gears together. So, I will either disassemble Woodriver Pen Drilling Vise Review the vise one more time and alter the shaft by using a grinder to create a flat area for the set screw to land on, or I will simply just go buy a different one.

I use it to drill out pin blanks does a good job. This is a great vise, not just centering pen blanks, but also for small ornament blanks. Unit is ideal for center drilling pen blanks, however I wish it were made with a little more sturdy material. All in all a good buy. This is a good deal for the price. Nice weight makes it sturdy on the table. Clamping it to the table is recommended. Easy center set up by locking the press quill down and lightly clamping the vise on the bit, then clamping it to the table.

The only "con" I notice so far is a slight flex to the alignment shafts when applying drilling pressure which could cause the bore to "elipse". I slide a couple pieces of cardstock between the jaws and the base to help support it.

Other than that it is great for keeping blanks stable and maintaining a good center. The problem with this vise is that it flexes from the pressure of the drill. A centered entry hole will give you an off-center exit hole.

The fix is to place a small wood block below your pen Woodriver Pen Drilling Vise On blank, so all the pressure is transferred to the base of the vice: I use the waste pieces I saw off the blanks. Rotate your blank horizontally see video so that the same sides of the blank remain in contact with the "V" groove surface of the base.

This may still not provide a perfectly matched hole the first time, however with practice, I was able to accomplish a matched two-sided drilled hole consistently after my first try, just as if I drilled clear through or used a drill press set up.

You can see my progress from left to right in the above photo right. Six out of seven's not bad! That being said, I should have done two out of three instead. Turn up the fun in your shop!
