Very cool, bet that Vise has some real good Mojo then...has to beat my cheap Chinese's import (maybe that's part of my problem ::))
Eric Krewson:
I tried magnetic jaw pads, OK at first but start slipping after a while, easy way to ding up a bow.
I made these to replace my magnetic pads, easy to make, guaranteed non-slip and easy to remove when you need the metal jaws. I got the idea from the gun makers vise jaw pads shown in the picture.
Eric Krewson:
I broke 2 chineese vises, really big ones. If you look under the 5 1/2" you will see some very important words"Made In USA", can't break this one.
osage outlaw:
I tried that kind of vice pad Eric, but didn't care for them. I think it might be the type of vices that I have, but they always fall off when I loosen the vice.
Besides the old one that was my grandfathers, I have a nice Craftsman that I bought at a yardsale for $5.
FlintWalker:
I use two pieces of thick rubber hose split down one side and slipped over the jaw. They won't fall off and won't dent a bow. I really like that when working on a tapered limb tip.
