Thanks for the detailed explanation on the build. I'll get around to building one of these one of these days. I also like that rather than being integrated into the bench you've made it removable and easily clamps up to any surface. I saved this video and will reproduce a vice just like yours, again, one of these days 😊
Excellent build. I like the offset side of the vise. I can see using that often. Two question on that - what are the considerations for which side that offset is on? And do you need a spacer for the middle to use the side so no racking?
Which side is a matter of personal preference - right/left handed and shop layout may help determine which side. No spacer is needed if close to the threaded rod but a spacer is helpful otherwise. Thanks!
Polish your Moxon vise with Noxon! This is what I want you to Do…! I’ll not be denied! Consequences for not obeying my wishes………..MAY RESULT IN CONSEQUENCES….. MOST SEVERE!!! Thank you very much.
would this kind of vise be good integrated to the table? I’ve been researching what kind of vises I should build to my bench so it’d be as versatile as possible and at this point of time im thinking of as wide of ”moxon vice” as you can place in front of the table, and wagon vice to the right end. Do you think that would work or do you have any recommendations how I could make it more usable
Thanks for watching and reaching out. The main reason the Moxon vise is not a permanent part of a work bench is comfort while using and not cluttering up the bench when not in use. The Moxon vise raises the work surface to allow you to stand and work at a higher height than the bench. I think your best option is to build and use the Moxon vise as it is intended. Trying to build one into the work bench complicates the height advantage . Hope that helps. Let me know if you want to discuss via phone call.
Nice build. If you make the screw in the middle retractable you could build a drawer and push it in to the end and store all your tools when you travel to shows
