Description: World class innovation in the HNT Gordon Front Vice design engages, non-racking mechanical function to solve the negative effects of racking. Grip wood stock in the far edge of this beautiful vice and it will be held square and tight with very little pressure from a silky-smooth crank handle offering zero backlash. The vices finely milled aluminium shaft glides with a running-fit between hard-wearing nylon bushings requiring no service and protecting the vices moving parts from dust particles ensuring an effortless lifetime of wear and tear. The concept was so new, combining a range of engineering products designed for different applications, that the HNT team tested the prototypes for five years in the HNT factory in full workshop conditions before releasing them to the market. It was found that the vice is highly efficient - even more so than quick traverse and release vices in most work holding situations. This is due to the absence of racking (racking leads to constant readjustments) and the effortless handle to clamp and unclamp the job without the need for over-tightening.Another huge benefit of this vice is that it arrives to you complete and ready for installation. Installation on all benches is simple with little to no modification of your bench, with four bolts holding it in place. CNC machined to the finest tolerances from brass and aluminium, hand assembled and tested in-house, the HNT Gordon Non-Racking Front Vice is an elegant addition to the workshop ensuring years of pleasure for the hobbyist and professional alike. Specifications:The jaw is 160mm x 230mm, with an opening capacity of 150mm. It weighs 8kg and has a 6 TPI ACME thread for fast, smooth action. Note: The vice does not come with dog holes drilled in the top of the vice as seen in some of the photos/videos. Please email us if you would like this option - We will drill two dog holes 40mm from each end, which makes them 150mm apart. We find this to be a good set-up, but if you want different spacing, please email us to order as we will need to customise this for you at an extra cost. If you decide to add dog holes once you receive your vice, we recommend not to do them larger than 1/2" as it may compromise the jaw, and you will lose your warranty.
