The Faithfull Woodwork Vice 230mm is designed for woodworkers seeking a robust and reliable workholding solution. Its key benefit is the quick-release lever mechanism, enabling rapid jaw adjustment for increased efficiency, alongside an adjustable dog for versatile clamping. A potential caveat is that its substantial size may require dedicated workbench space. This vice features a quick-release lever, a toe-in feature for even clamping, and an adjustable front stop (dog) for additional workholding options, all manufactured from durable grey cast iron with a steel mainscrew for longevity.

The Faithfull Woodwork Vice 230mm has a maximum opening capacity of 330mm (13 inches).
The lever disengages the main screw thread, allowing the jaws to be slid open or closed rapidly without manual turning. Engaging the lever re-engages the screw for fine adjustment.
The adjustable dog provides an additional clamping point. It can be raised to act as a stop against the edge of the workbench or a separate bench stop, allowing for secure clamping of workpieces, especially those that are narrow or require support from the front.
Yes, the design allows for the fitting of additional wooden jaws. This is recommended for protecting both the workpiece and the vice jaws from damage, particularly when clamping softer woods or finished surfaces.
The vice is manufactured from close-grain grey cast iron with a steel mainscrew.
This vice comes with a 5-year guarantee.
Regularly clean the screw and guide rods. Apply a light oil to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation. Protect the jaws and workpiece by fitting wooden inserts when necessary.
Clean the mainscrew and guide rods of debris. Apply a light lubricant to the screw and rods. Ensure the vice is securely mounted and not binding against the workbench.
Check for debris or damage on the guide rods or screw threads. Ensure the vice is securely bolted to a flat surface. The internal mechanism may require professional adjustment if severely misaligned.
Inspect the lever mechanism for obstructions. Clean any debris. Apply a penetrating lubricant to the lever pivot and engagement points. Ensure the main screw is clean and lubricated.
Ensure the jaws are clean and free from oil or grease. Tighten the vice firmly. Check if the toe-in feature is correctly engaged for even pressure. Consider using wooden jaw inserts for better grip on smooth materials.
