This Vise Changed How I Woodwork
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I've wanted to make this bench top moxon vise for a couple years now. I finally made it but I managed to screw it up pretty good while doing so. Fortunately there were some good tricks to be shared on the fix. I used hardware from Benchcrafted for mine. That can be found here: www.benchcrafted.com/moxon

You can purchase and download the cut list for my vise here:

You can make the vise with this much cheaper hardware found here: amzn.to/41dGHq4
But the nut mortise will be a different size. You can use the method I used for the "fix" to make it just right.

Great video. I’m just starting the same project and really appreciate the magstop reference tip. I was planning to forgo the stabilizer because I thought adding the table would serve that purpose. Is there a reason for using both that I should know? Thank you for the video!
@CoffeyCustomBuilds
Жыл бұрын
You will need the stabilizer for sure. There just isn't enough weight to keep it in place. You need to clamp the whole thing down to keep it from moving for sure.
Nice video! Would a forstner bit work to make the recess for the nut? Or did you mortise it to make it square in order to hold the nut for tightening?

Interesting. I would also put bolts on the inside. Cause when you tighten those wheels it builds pressure toward the outside. And bolts might pop out?

Sorry to say you went the hard way to fix something in a slightly different less common designs of moxon vice is not mistake, Some of the slightly different designs is a metal plate that goes between the two nuts that is bolted/screwed/clamped/magnet in place. The clamped/magnet into place is that you can push the threaded rod of the vice back inside the vice when you are not using it without having to undo the nuts the plate makes getting the nuts back into alignment to go back in simple.

A very nice result! So you don’t get any vertical racking when you use the vise with bench dogs? I had originally decided on a table on my build but then halfway in, I suddenly thought that it may not be a good idea after all. I know the holes in the front bar are oval horisontally and not vertically but the hole is just drilled in wood after all. How is your vise holding up?

Its holding up great and I use it every day. This design has been around for hundreds of years. Invented in the 17th century by Joseph Moxon.

Why
I'm only 6 minutes into your video and hear see two mistakes already. You cut the front and back jaw to the same length? The back should be longer for clamping to the workbench. The oval holes in the front of a Moxon vice is not there to prevent racking when you pull it out, though it does that too. The whole point of making a Moxon vice is to allow racking and be able to securely clamp tapered items like table legs, guitar necks and other items with odd shapes. It also works well for normal flat shapes.
@CoffeyCustomBuilds
5 ай бұрын
If you watch the video or look at the thumbnail you can see that I don't use the back jaw to hold it in place, I made a separate piece for that. Also, my statement isn't incorrect. It is correct. But what you said is also correct.
