Veritas Twin Screw Vise (05G12-26): Non-Racking Clamping Across the Full Width
Want a vise that holds your workpiece perfectly parallel, no matter where you clamp it? The Veritas Twin Screw Vise is the only vise on the market that stays non-racking across its full width, so the jaws grip evenly whether your stock sits at the centre or right out near the edge. Out of the box, it supports vise screw centres up to 16", which suits a wide range of benches and projects. If you need a wider 24" capacity, you will need the Long Cover & Chain accessory (05G12-27), sold separately.
Two handles drive a hidden chain that keeps both screws turning together, eliminating the racking that plagues ordinary vises. Add dog holes to the moving jaw and you can clamp work horizontally or vertically, operating the vise from either handle. It's a smart, precise addition to any serious workbench.
Key Features
- Non-racking full-width design: Clamp anywhere along the jaws and they stay parallel, giving you an even, secure grip every time.
- Chain-driven dual handles: Both screws turn in sync, so you can operate the vise from either handle without racking.
- Dog hole capability: Drill dog holes into the moving jaw to clamp workpieces securely, horizontally or vertically.
- 16" screw centres out of the box: Supports vise screw centres up to 16" as supplied, ready to mount to your bench.
- Expandable to 24": Fit the optional Long Cover & Chain (05G12-27, sold separately) to reach vise screw centres up to 24".
- Complete hardware kit: Comes with everything you need to install, apart from your own hardwood jaws.
