Why You Need a Vice Clamp:

While bench dogs and track clamps are excellent for horizontal workholding, the vice clamp opens up new possibilities for vertical and angled clamping.

This is essential for operations like:

• Edge planing and jointing
• Cutting dovetails and other joinery
• Sanding edges vertically
• Working on narrow or tall workpieces
• Securing awkward-shaped pieces

---

How to Use:

Insert the vice clamp into a dog hole, position your workpiece against one or more bench dogs, then tighten the vice clamp to secure the material. The clamp applies pressure from the dog hole, holding your workpiece firmly in place.

Combine multiple vice clamps with bench dogs for complex clamping scenarios.

Perfect For:

• Edge planing and flattening
• Cutting dovetails and mortises
• Vertical sanding operations
• Securing narrow stock
• Advanced joinery work
• Professional furniture making

Works best when combined with HDS bench dogs.

Important Note:

The machining tolerances are very tight for maximum accuracy, so your vice clamp will be a snug fit initially. This is intentional and ensures secure, wobble-free clamping. The fit will loosen slightly over time with use.

Pro Tips:

• Wax for Smooth Operation - Apply a wax-based product to the clamp for easier insertion and adjustment
• Don't Over-Tighten - Apply only the pressure needed to secure your workpiece
• Combine with Dogs - Use multiple bench dogs as stops for best results
• Break It In - The fit will improve after a few uses
