The versatile WoodRiver® Multifunction Vise is a must-have for any woodworker with diverse workholding needs on the smaller end of the scale. Carvers, knife makers, and other artisans who work with objects 2″ thick and less will appreciate the extra functionality of this clever vise. The jaws and the head both rotate, allowing for maximum versatility in positioning. Four workholding options accommodate a universe of workpiece shapes, and rugged cast iron construction means this vise will last a lifetime.

The vise pivots on two axes: the jaws can rotate 360° to accommodate any vertical or horizontal position, while the head allows maneuvering toward and away from the workbench edge. Here’s the best part about this vise—the four options for holding workpieces. 1: The traditional steel jaws open up to 2″ wide to offer a secure grasp on any flat object. 2: V notches hold square stock by the corners. 3: Rotating pins allow a sturdy hold, perpendicular to the jaws, on any shape—including an irregular one. 4: There’s no need to fumble with vise jaw protectors, because a set of urethane jaws will cushion any materials too delicate for the metal jaws.

The thoughtful engineering doesn’t stop there. Rugged cast iron construction means this vise can literally take a beating—its anvil surface is perfect to use as a hammering surface to shape or flatten metal. Attaching to your workbench (up to 1-5/8″ thick) is a cinch, with a clamp for easy placement and two screw holes for secure mounting. With its durable construction and all the options for workholding and positioning, this workhorse brings all the extra functionality you wish your old vise had.
