Quick Tip: Add ‘Soft Jaws’ to a Vise
Jul 26, 2007
To add “soft jaws” to any vise, all you need is hardware-store variety aluminum angle and a little carpet tape. Cut the angle into two pieces. Use the double-sided tape to attach a piece to each of the jaws. When attached, one leg of each angle rests on top of the jaw and the other leg butts up against the inside face.
