After struggling with our previous website for so long we have finally launched a completely new site that fixes the numerous problems we had with the old site. All of the videos are now available on the gallery tab and we also have pictures of vises and benches on that tab as well. We were […]

We have finally added the 5″ handwheel to the website. This smaller handwheel is specifically for the wagon vise and is just like the larger 8″ diameter wheel used with the VX20 leg vise and the VX20F face vise. The 5″ handwheel comes with a quick release pin with a large split ring and also

I have received many comments and questions about our new wagon vise. This might turn out to be our most popular vise! The dog block for the VX20W vise mechanism simply bolts to the side with four 1/4″ diameter hex head cap screws that are counter-bored into the dog block. It is designed for a

  We are really excited to show the first images of the new VX20W quick action wagon vise. I wish this new vise was not hidden under the bench because I think it looks pretty cool! We have made a lot of refinements and improvements with this new vise. The housing is very small and

We have been busy at work in the research and development laboratory at Hovarter Custom Vise. We are so far along in the development of some exciting new products that we have decided to stop producing the old version of the face vise and wagon vise to give us time to begin producing the new

I have finally gotten the first production X Link’s ready for shipment. Shown in the picture above is the X Link in black anodized finish. The 3/8″ diameter pivot pins are shown to the left and the shiny plates to the right are the wear plates. Some of the features and advantages of the X

I have a customer in Italy who purchased a VX 20 vise. He was having trouble finding the correct size drill bits to install the vise. There are no equivalent metric Forstner bits near the 2-1/2″ and 1-3/4″ sizes. We decided that the best approach would be to initially drill the vise parts with a
