    Default Moxon OTT, but oh so nice feature :)

    Here is an overhead of my Moxon vise in the closed position ..





    When I loosen the wheels now, the jaw automatically opens about 30mm ...





    I was intrigued by a video tip from David Barron where he added a spring to the inside of his chop ...




    His video: YouTube


    ... and decided to try this out on my Moxon. I had a couple of springs lying around which, fortunately were the ideal size and also compressible (they are triangular, where David's are parallel. He needed to modify the chop with a recess to permit it to close up. I did not need this).








    The wonder of this system is that it is effortless to use, to open and close. No wracking on screws when opening any longer. Effortless! Loosen one side, and slip out the work piece. Reposition. Tighten one screw ...

    Bugger! I only put the final coat of finish on my Moxon vice today and now you're sending me back to the drawing board.

    An absolutely stunning vice Derek!

    May I ask, is it made from Jarrah? The brass highlights contrast the timber so well. Stunning!!

    Cheers,
    Siggy

    Thanks Siggy. I posted on this Moxon and its novel design a month or so ago. It’s on the forum, and also on my website: http://www.inthewoodshop.com/ShopMad...LastMoxon.html

    Cheers for that Derek, a fantastic read too! Sorry, I'm still new to this forum and as such am not quite familiar with parallel topics across various subsections of the forum, I really do appreciate your guidance sir!

    Cheers,
    Siggy
