Despite the name, this incredibly versatile vice is a game-changer for almost any woodworking project. If you have ever struggled to clamp a tapered leg, a curved instrument neck, or an oddly shaped carving, this vice provides a simple and reliable solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"528\" data-end=\"682\"\u003eThe swivelling jaws automatically conform to irregular shapes, allowing you to secure workpieces without complicated jigs or unstable clamping setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"684\" data-end=\"1043\"\u003eWhat truly sets this vice apart is its exceptional flexibility. The entire unit rotates a full 360 degrees, and the jaws themselves also rotate 360 degrees, allowing you to position your workpiece at the exact angle required for sawing, carving, sanding or shaping. This improves both comfort and accuracy while reducing awkward working positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1045\" data-end=\"1188\"\u003eThe jaws feature large wooden faces lined with soft polyurethane pads, protecting delicate timber surfaces while maintaining a strong grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1190\" data-end=\"1374\"\u003eInstallation is simple. The vice mounts through any standard 19mm bench dog hole or a minimum 16mm hole, allowing it to be quickly installed or removed from your bench as required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1437\" data-end=\"1590\"\u003eThe Carbatec Pattern \/ Luthier’s Vice also features an important improvement over similar vices on the Australian market: the jaw mounting bolts. Many comparable vices use standard bolts that tend to tighten or loosen as the jaws rotate, twisting the bolt during use. While this may seem minor, it happens frequently and often requires tools to readjust the jaws mid-project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1827\" data-end=\"1929\"\u003eCarbatec identified this issue early and worked with the manufacturer to develop a permanent solution. This vice uses custom headless bolts combined with nylon locking nuts, allowing you to set the exact amount of rotational resistance you prefer. Once adjusted, the setting stays consistent during use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2141\" data-end=\"2391\"\u003eThis means you can rotate the jaws freely without them locking up or unexpectedly loosening, delivering a far more reliable and frustration-free clamping experience. It is a simple but critical upgrade that significantly improves daily usability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-section-id=\"1iz91iu\" data-start=\"2393\" data-end=\"2409\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2413\" data-end=\"2474\"\u003eRotating jaws conform to tapered, round and irregular stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2477\" data-end=\"2532\"\u003eFull 360° rotation of both the vice body and jaws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2535\" data-end=\"2627\"\u003eCustom headless bolts with nylon locking nuts prevent unwanted tightening or loosening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2630\" data-end=\"2693\"\u003eAdjustable swivel resistance that stays consistent during use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2696\" data-end=\"2770\"\u003eSoft polyurethane-lined wooden jaws protect delicate timber surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2773\" data-end=\"2836\"\u003eMounts easily via 19mm dog holes or any minimum 16mm hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2839\" data-end=\"2904\"\u003eSpreader function allows jaws to push outward when required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2907\" data-end=\"2965\"\u003e140mm maximum opening capacity for larger workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-section-id=\"1udr4uc\" data-start=\"2967\" data-end=\"2988\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2992\" data-end=\"3031\"\u003eHolding tapered legs for chair making\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3034\" data-end=\"3101\"\u003eSecuring curved musical instrument parts such as necks and bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3104\" data-end=\"3145\"\u003eCarving irregular shapes and sculptures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3148\" data-end=\"3192\"\u003eDetail sanding on multi-faceted workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"3195\" data-end=\"3254\"\u003eGeneral woodworking where standard parallel jaws struggle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3256\" data-end=\"3355\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eTransform the way you hold your work and enjoy complete freedom when clamping irregular shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CARBATEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47815655686419,"sku":"PATTERN-VISE","price":249.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2727\/5283\/files\/IMG_0280.jpg?v=1771999898","url":"https:\/\/mycarbateflash.com\/products\/pattern-vise","provider":"Carbatec","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
