Every workshop could use a vise or two and whether it’s a professional shop or a hobbyist’s basement there’s a wood working bench vise made to hold all types of projects. A vise with an opening of 7” to 9” is usually fine for most home wood shops.

One of the key considerations for buying and using a wood working bench vise is the ability to add jaw inserts to protect the wood with which you are working. There may be a lot of pressure put on a project piece that can be damaged unless proper protection is available. Maple inserts work well as they are durable and won’t harm the finished face or your project.
