Pattern Maker’s Vice (Vise) | Non-Racking

The HNT Gordon Pattern Maker’s Vice is a non-racking woodworking vice designed to hold work securely at a wide range of angles, heights and orientations. With 360° rotation, 90° tilt and full lock on both functions, it offers exceptional control for shaping, carving, fitting and detailed bench work.

Built to hold everything from parallel stock to tapered and double-tapered forms, it is a remarkably versatile vice for woodworkers, luthiers, carvers and instrument makers. Powerful holding is achieved with very little force at the handle, reducing fatigue through prolonged use.

Precision machined from brass and aluminium, then hand assembled and tested in-house, the HNT Gordon Pattern Maker’s Vice is built for smooth operation, elegant function and long-term reliability. Its hidden thread runs in a self-cleaning shaft, protecting the working parts from dust and shavings and helping ensure consistent performance over time.
