Moxon Vises are fasteners with double screws that have been used in furniture stores for about 400 years. They were first described and illustrated by Joseph Moxon in his 17th-century book The Art of Joinery. The Moxon Two Screw Vise is an incredibly versatile workbench accessory that is easy to build with the right hardware. It can stabilize wide and narrow boards with incredible power while performing various carpentry, shaping or carving. It is the perfect accessory when cutting cones or dovetails. It raises the workpiece to a more comfortable and ergonomic height. It is very portable and can be quickly mounted anywhere on a bench or table, and when not in use, simply stored on a shelf or hung on a wall.
This Moxon Vise Set is very economical but includes high quality 3/4-10 threaded rods (not Acme thread), nuts, washers and cast knobs. This hardware kit includes everything needed (minus the wood) to get a fully functional Moxon vise. You can make it as wide and as high as you like and made from wood of your choice. Due to the design, this set does not include plans or measurement drawings as there are numerous options for customization. We leave the details for you to decide. The kit includes a comprehensive manual with many design considerations so you can customize your Moxon vice to suit your personal needs.
