Auxiliary Vise Jaws
Plans and Hardware For a Sliding Base Plus 16 Accessory Jaws
We're offering a set of drawings (plus a 74-piece hardware pack) for creating a sliding mounting base and 16 shop-made wooden jaws that you can build for your Quick-Acting Combination Vise to grasp a variety of different sized and shaped workpieces in any number of positions. See the photos for a few examples.
Sliding base lets you move & lock vise in position wherever you want it
Small, straight wooden jaws feature stick-on abrasive strips for non-slip grasping of workpieces without marring
Offset jaws let you grip large workpieces up to 11-3/8" wide
When attached horizontally to the vise jaws, these auxiliary jaws allow you to hold square or round workpieces of different sizes parallel to your worktable surface
Use these open-top V-jaws to bore a row of in-line holes down the length of a dowel... or any 90° edge of a square workpiece... while holding your stock parallel to your worktable surface
Use these enclosed V-jaws to perform the same operation as shown prior... except with a firmer, non-slip grip on your workpiece... while holding your stock parallel to the worktable surface
Made to grip 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2" and 3/4" dowels or square workpieces vertically.
These two jaw designs will ensure that your stock is held 90° to your table surface
Includes: Dimensioned Drawings for the Sliding Base and 16 Auxiliary Jaws • 74 Piece Hardware Pack and a • Driver for the Threaded Inserts.

Works With Older Model Combo Vises
If you own an older combination vise from Shopsmith (even those from as far back as the 1980's -- see photo), the holes for mounting our auxiliary vise jaws, as well as the slots for mounting to your Mark or Mark V worktable, are located in the IDENTICAL positions.
