Guitar Repair Vise

Don't mistake our vise for one of the many copycats! We've customized our Guitar Repair Vise to give it bearing-smooth operation that you won't find elsewhere. Turn the fast-crank handwheel and you'll immediately feel the difference.

Customized four ways:
1. Fast-crank handwheel with removable handle
2. Roller bearings for fast smooth opening/closing
3. Protective urethane surfaces on custom hardwood jaws
4. Nylon-core adjustable tension nuts control 360° jaw rotation

Details

A good vise is the central hub of your workshop. Every repair or building job benefits from a solid, secure vise, and if it's actually a pleasure to use that's all the better!

Our Guitar Repair Vise is 32 pounds of steel that rotates full-circle to position the work for comfortable access. Each inch-thick hardwood jaw rotates too, with forgiving urethane surfaces to hold instruments of any shape/any size. This vise holds a the tapered angles of a neck securely without needing any shims. Nylon-core adjustment nuts set the tension on the rotating jaws, so you can let them spin loosely or hold their angle. The vise jaws open to a maximum of 6" (15.24cm).

We've built in a roller bearing so the vise opens and adjusts smoothly - and added a crank handle to make it speedy. (The handle's conveniently removable, too.)

The sturdy cast-iron base can be installed under your workbench for 8-5/8" vise height, or on top for 10-1/16" height. The threaded mounting rod and large wingnut mount the vise quickly on any benchtop up to 4-1/2" thick.

	May 21, 2008 I placed an order on Thursday for a Guitar Repair Vise, plus some other items, and they all arrived on the other side of the world in Perth, Western Australia, the following Tuesday...that is impressive to say the least, plus the fact that I am absolutely delighted with the vise, which is versatile and a great addition to my workshop.

A must-have!

Wow - I can't believe I didn't buy one of these sooner. There are so many things that you can do with this vise, but the one thing that comes to mind right now is scraping the sides of a Tele-style guitar. I used to sit on the basement steps with the guitar body between my knees, trying to make the scraper behave. Now, with the body in this vise, I can get much more leverage and stability with a metal scraper and the results prove it!

Repair Vise an A+

I love this tool! It has made my job of sanding, so much easier. I highly recommend it as an essential for any builder.

How did I get along without it?

How did I get along without it? That's the only thing I can say after using the guitar repair vise for a few months. I've been a hobbyist luthier since the late 90's and dealing with various vises to hold the guitar while I work. Nothing has approached the ease and versatility of this tool. And shipping to Hawaii was super fast and cheap! Thanks Stew-Mac!! This is a photo of the vise holding a travel guitar project.

Not as good as it looks on the pictures

The concept is good and it works fine but it feels cheap with quite rough machining, casting and terrible paintwork. As another reviewer has said it is not a precision piece of machinery. Severely overpriced.I would be happy if it would had cost me half of what I paid. Made in Taiwan.

Guitar Repair Vise

After years without one, I don't know how I worked so efficiently! It's the centerpiece of my workbench. Well-built and easy to use. Stewmac hit another home-run.

Good.

Fully functional. Perhaps not as precision built as you may expect but excellent none the less.
