Anant - 52-1/2 ED Bench Vise
The Anant 52-1/2 ED Bench Vise is a fully assembled, trigger-release cast-iron vise.
May 01, 2009
The Anant 52-1/2 ED Bench Vise is a trigger-release vise with a 9-in. jaw width. It has a 12-3/4-in. opening capacity and received a measurement of 0.05 in. in the racking test. Although this product has good vertical alignment, it rated poorly for ease of use. The quick-release nut does not re-engage well.
The Anant 52-1/2 ED Bench Vise is available from www.highlandwoodworking.com (Product Number: 199302).

Veritas Micro-Adjust Wheel Marking Gauge
The adjuster runs through the beam from a small knob at the back end right to the cutting wheel, which moves in and out as you turn the knob. This arrangement works well but makes adjustments a two-handed operation, requiring a little more effort.
Tite-Mark Marking Gauge
These gauges can be easily and precisely adjusted with one hand, which allows you to set the tool while holding a ruler or workpiece in the other. The quality is exceptional, and all have sharp cutters that offer great visibility.
Marking knife: Hock Double-Bevel Violin Knife, 3/4 in.
This heavy, double-beveled knife stays on track in all directions, and works just fine without adding a handle.
