Utilising one half of the 'I' Beam section, to create a 'U' section, the body of the vice is easliy cut using a cutting disc on an angle grinder. All the other parts are cut from the 'T' Beam and are hand finished using files and flap wheel grinding discs to bring them to the required size. The moving jaw nut holder box is welded to the jaw plate and has channel sections that locate under the central guide rail to maintain jaw alignment. Very few additional parts are needed to complete the vice, just a number of counter-sunk allen bolts, threaded rod and matching tube to complete the handle. Making your own tools is incredibly statisfying, this vice can be used to hold material to make further tools for your workshop.
