How thick should vice jaws be?

Jaw Thickness: We recommend that jaws be at least 1-5/8 inches thick, which allows both secure fastening to the hardware, and room to accommodate dog holes (either square or 3/4 inch round) in the front jaw. Jaw Length: For the small vise, recommended jaw length is 12 to 15 inches.

Which is the function of a pipe vice?

Pipe vises are used in plumbing to hold pipes or tubing secure while they’re cut or threaded. They can hold pipes as small as 3 mm in diameter, or as large as 200 mm. They may be fitted onto a workbench or used with a mobile tripod stand. A stand is generally used for projects that take place outside of a workshop.

What wood is used for Vice jaws?

You can use plywood, a good grade, or solid wood, even pine, if that’s what you have, to line the jaws of your vise. In this case I’ve chosen sapele, an african hardwood with perfect hardness and compression for this work. I’ve used it before and it’s one of the best. Better than oak and comparable to ash.
