Blank drilling vice

[wayneis]

Well I've been using Paul Huffman's vise for long enough to know that it's the real deal. This is one sweet tool folks. With no bars in the way you can slide blanks in and out with ease, it's solid enough that it'll never wear out, at least not in my life time. Out of five stars I would give it a six. I wish that all of our tools were built so nice[8D]

Hi Wayne,

Please elaborate. I haven't heard of this vise, where do you get it?

 

[PenWorks]

Yes, please Wayne, show us again, for those of us on the waiting list [] I know I am getting closer, Paul has my money allready, could be days or weeks, who cares, I know it will get here. []

Just do a search and you will find photos and all of the relivent information. Paul is running a one man opperation and it takes time to build these, I waited several months in line myself.

Thanks Wayne, I'm glad it's doing its job! I will try to figure out how to shrink the size of pic I have so I can put one in the apropriate area, or at least a pic on my web site.
I will be making some more after the first of the year, should be ready by the end of January, but hopefully sooner. The current price is $65 which includes shipping.
Thanks.

I received my PHDesign side drilling vise a couple of weeks ago. While the organization has eaten a lot of my time, I have been able to use it a few times. Before using it, I re-squared my drill press table. Using Paul's device I find that I can drill multiple blanks twice as quickly. The innovative, side-screw access let's me slip blanks in and out quite easily. Tightening the vise is made painless by the conveniently located knob. The accuracy I get from this vise is incredible. There is no visible wandering of the bit in the blank. There are a number of fine vises out there, but for my money, Paul's is the best I have used. Not an IAP or President's endorsement...just a plain old pen turner's endorsement. Thanks for a great product, Paul.

I have been using Paul's vice for several months.
Thatcombined with my new drill press with 3 and 1/4 inch stroke
have made drilling blanks much better.
I think Paul's vise is one of the best avaliable.
