FAQs

Jaw width against the largest work to be held, then vice type against the material. Engineers and woodworking vices are different designs for different work rather than better and worse versions.

Engineers jaws are hardened and serrated to grip metal firmly, which marks softer material. Woodworking jaws are wide, smooth and flush with the bench so a board can be held on edge.

From 36mm on a hand vice up to 225mm on the largest quick release woodworking vice. Engineers bench vices at 100mm, 125mm and 150mm cover most metalworking.

It lets the jaw be slid open and closed rather than wound the whole distance, so a vice with a wide opening can be used at several settings without lengthy winding.

A vacuum vice at 75mm holds to a smooth surface and releases afterwards, and a portable hobby vice with an integrated clamp fixes to any bench edge without drilling.

A hand vice at 36mm holds small work in the hand for filing or drilling, which is a different job from anything a bench-mounted vice does.

Jaw width sets what the vice will hold and vice type sets how it holds it. Engineers jaws are hardened and serrated to grip metal firmly, which marks anything softer. Woodworking jaws are wide, smooth and mounted flush with the bench so a board can be held on edge without the vice getting in the way.

Those are different designs for different work rather than better and worse versions of the same thing. An engineers vice in a joinery shop marks every piece it holds; a woodworking vice in a fitting shop will not grip steel hard enough to file it. Holding the right vice for the material is what keeps both the work and the jaws in usable condition.

Jaw width across the leaf runs 36mm on a hand vice up to 225mm on the largest quick release woodworking vice, with engineers bench vices at 100mm, 125mm and 150mm covering most metalworking. Width is chosen against the largest work to be held rather than the average. Draper hold engineers vices in plain and bench forms at 100mm with larger bodies above them.

Mounting decides where the vice can be used. A bolt-down vice is permanent and rigid. A vacuum base holds to a smooth surface and releases, which suits a bench that is also used for other things. A portable hobby vice with an integrated clamp fixes to any edge. Questions go over WhatsApp on 07754288583. A hand vice at 36mm covers the opposite case again, holding small work in the hand rather than on a bench at all.
