Woodcraft pen drilling vise

[Carlos]

Woodcraft pen vise for sale. This is a decent but not great vise. We're selling it because we upgraded. It's still in good condition and works like it always did. $25 including shipping in the US. Paypal or check would be fine.

So you got the Rockler, yes???

Yup, it's simpler but more solid. I'm not the pen maker in the family, so I can't tell you much more than that. But I hear less cursing from the pen-making side of the shop, so it must be good.

You can improve that one a bit by taking it apart and shimming the bottom of the center piece with slippery tape (clear packing tape works) so that it doesn't have anywhere to "flex" to. Also consider sticking sandpaper on the grove faces to keep the blank from slipping. Made a big difference for me.

It's just a shame that one has to "finish" a tool like this to make it work right. I never liked the look of the WC unit, so I built my own vise, instead.
