%!$ Easy Diy Woodworking Bench Plans For You #!@

That half inch could make a difference in some applications, because you won't be trimming it to fit! Designed with the woodworker in mind, the eclipse 10 woodworking vise array dog may be used in combination with a bench dog to offer alternate uses. Directions are minimal. The quick release trigger was a bit stiff for my liking, but that was easily adjusted. My inside jaw is the bench apron, whose underside was hollowed out to accommodate the depth of eclipes inner jaw. It will do best by having wood covers for the jaws.

Hello my name is Jim Chrisawn and I am a fourth generation woodworker and have been a woodworker for the past 40 plus years. I have built everything from custom homes to custom furniture during this time.

I moved to Wyoming in and gave away my workbench to a dear friend and woodworker before moving so one of the first things that I needed to do after settling in was to build a new work bench. In this I needed a new vise.

I love the old Record 52 vises and found that they were now very expensive and hard to come by as well. I ordered the vise and it arrived promptly and well-packaged. Once unpacked, cleaned, and lubricated I set about installing it on my bench.

The installation was straight forward, however be warned this is a heavy vise! Once installed I made vise jaw inserts out of some scrap hickory that I had in the shop. No, it was not! I couldn't actuate the lever unless I dedicated one hand to it, and the other on the front jaw of the vise to pull and push it into position. After fretting that I had made a big mistake, I studied the spring mechanism and discovered that it could be easily adjusted, even after installation.

After reducing the torque a little, I am very pleased to report that the vise works like a charm. The front of my bench was riddled with holes so I had to drill two new holes in the face of the rear jaw for long lags into the edge of the bench.

Drilling the metal was easy. I attached wood faces with recesses for the heads of the lags. I used double sided tape to secure the wood faces. I use this vise for professional cabinetmaking and general woodworking. It will probably last forever. This vise is bigger and is just as well made. Before installing, I cleaned off much of the preservative oil that coated the parts by using mineral spirits and a soft cloth. So, the front jaw squeezes against the left front of the bench that I built up to match the jaw.

That's not a big deal for an experienced woodworker. I needed a temporary support from the floor and a helping hand to install the vise and insert the rear jaw into the channel that I had made to accept it. All went well with two people working together as a team. I do not recommend anyone taking this vise apart to make it easier to install it at the workbench.

Directions are minimal. Read this review and others for help as needed. I was looking for a good vise for my new bench. I was tempted to buy a used Record vise, but they command higher prices for some in fair condition.

Eclipse has imitated the Record style for their Chinese-made vises, and came up with an affordable vise with reasonable quality. It comes coated with a lot of grease that must be removed, lest it become clogged up with dust. This is easy to do with a rag and kerosene. It requires stout mounting screws and, most likely, a wood spacer that you may need to make yourself by laminating plywood, to mount it to the underside of a workbench.

The process was straightforward. It will do best by having wood covers for the jaws. My inside jaw is the bench apron, whose underside was hollowed out to accommodate the depth of the inner jaw. The outside jaw is a full-thickness about 1. Once mounted, I found the main screw does not turn with fingertip strength. This was also true before I removed the grease, so it isn't a matter of lubrication.

I would have like it to be more free spinning, but this is not a big deal, especially when you consider that this is a quick release vise. The quick release mechanism works reliably. One squeeze, and the outer jaw moves in and out freely.
