VX21 Face Vise Instruction

VX21 Face Vise Instructions

The Hovarter Custom VX21 face vise is a revolutionary new quick action vise mechanism based off of the popular VX21 leg vise. The VX21 face vise utilizes a special clutch mechanism to allow the vise jaw to be quickly positioned against the workpiece. The two separate vise mechanisms operate in unison by a unique keyed sprocket and chain system located under the bench. When either clamp handle is turned the clutches simultaneously grip the clamp shafts and securely tightens the vise jaw against the workpiece. When the clamp handle is turned to unclamp the clutch releases and the vise jaw is again free to slide in and out. A work piece may be clamped anywhere between the two clamp shafts without racking.

The New Hovarter Custom Vise VX21 does not compromise! You get quick action (as quick as you can slide the jaw against your workpiece) and then simply turn the handle and start clamping with high mechanical advantage. Three times higher mechanical advantage than a 2 TPI screw. Try getting 1100 pounds of force with a 2 TPI screw.

Combine the VX21 leg vise with the X Link scissors parallel guide and get unbeatable performance. Quick action and no bending over to adjust a pin in a guide board. Add a drill guide to the X Link to make drilling deep holes without a drill press easier. You can also customize your Hovarter Custom Leg Vise by adding a round profile polished rim metal handwheel, a turned finish square profile metal handwheel or a very traditional wooden hub and handle. Some customers make their own wooden hub and handle to put a personal touch on the vise.
