Universal Vise

I

T’S COMMON FOR WOODWORKERSto mount an engineer’s vise on a
block of wood so it can be clamped in a woodworking vise and
used to hold a piece of metal. To extend the clamping range of the
vise-in-a-vise concept, choose a small engineering vise with a pivoting
base, and bolt it to a 2-in.-square hardwood post that extends about
5 in. beyond the vise. This allows you to vary the position of the post
in the carpenter’s vise to obtain an almost unlimited number of
clamping angles.
