Wide Jaw Bench Vice (Vise) | Non-Racking

$969.00 AUD
Dog Holes

The HNT Gordon Wide Jaw Bench Vice is a non-racking front vice designed to hold work square and tight, even when clamping at the far edge of the jaw. Smooth in action and beautifully precise, it delivers secure holding with very little pressure from the handle.

Precision made from brass and aluminium, the vice runs on a finely milled shaft with hard-wearing nylon bushings for smooth travel and long-term reliability. Its hidden, self-cleaning thread protects the moving parts from dust and shavings, helping ensure effortless performance over time.

Developed and tested in full workshop conditions over five years, this vice proved highly efficient in day-to-day use. With no racking to fight against, there is less need for constant readjustment and no need for excessive tightening.

The wide jaw format provides a larger clamping area than our standard front vice, making it especially useful for larger work and tasks such as drawer making. It arrives complete and ready for installation, with simple mounting that requires little to no modification to most benches.

Another huge benefit of this vice is that it arrives to you complete and ready for installation. Installation on all benches is simple with little to no modification of your bench, with four bolts holding it in place. For more information you can download our installation guide here.


CNC machined to the finest tolerances from brass and aluminium, hand assembled and tested in-house, the HNT Gordon Non-Racking Wide Jaw Front Vice is an elegant addition to the workshop ensuring years of pleasure for the hobbyist and professional alike.

Note: The vice does not come with dog holes drilled in the top of the vice as seen in some of the photos/videos. You can select this option before checking out - We will drill two dog holes 50mm from each end. We find this to be a good set-up, but if you want different spacing, please email us to order as we will need to customise this for you at an extra cost. If you decide to add dog holes once you receive your vice, we recommend not to do them larger than 1/2" as it may compromise the jaw, and you will lose your warranty. 
 

Accessories available for purchase:


Tilting vice jaws are available for holding odd-shaped stock like chair legs and musical instrument parts.  The tilting jaw fits into a ½” hole bored into the work-bench. You can find information on these here.


How to Mount your HNT Gordon bench vice:

 



A unique design feature of our woodworking bench vice is the hidden thread in a self-cleaning shaft. This self-cleaning system means that no dust or shavings can enter the thread or bearing surfaces, meaning no wear can take place over a long period of time.

Incredible piece of kit

This is every bit as good as described. Easy as anything to install, and absolutely does not rack. An immediate and huge improvement to my woodworking experience.

Wonderful!

I’ve been using my vice for a few weeks now, and it’s truly a beautiful thing. It just holds the work so effortlessly. And unrackingly. Installing it was a bit of a fiddle only because of the design of my bench, and the instructions and video made everything perfectly clear. To me, this vice is worth the money. Oh, and it looks elegant too.
