About the Bench vise

A bench vise is a heavy clamp bolted to a workbench that grips your work while you shape it. It has two flat jaws, one fixed and one that moves in and out when you turn a handle. With the piece held tight, both hands are free to cut, file, or bend. Add this printable to a workshop lesson and trace the jaws that hold the work still.

A vise's two jaws close when you turn the handle, gripping the work tight.
It bolts to a workbench so a piece stays still while you work on it.
