New vises part 01 - building a tail vise (wagon vise) and bench dogs diy how to - duration: 4:31. pale dog tool co. 5,511 views. Wagon vise design based on sage advice from friends, i bought soft maple for the base of my bench rather than poplar. i wasn't able to get 16/4, so i'll need to glue up some boards, but this is a much better choice in the long run.. Next step was to drill the dog hole in the wagon block, and attach guide blocks to the sides of the wagon block. i then assembled all the vise parts. in designing the wagon vise, i wanted to make sure there were no obstructions or guide rails protruding into the vise opening..
Homemade wagon vises constructed from wood and intended as inserts capable of being dropped into any existing workbench. shims and dog holes yield a total travel of just over 6" and are actuated by means of an 8-degree wedge.. While i have a benchcrafted end vise on my workbench, i still have a soft spot in my heart for homebrew wagon vises. i started with a lame homemade wagon vise i made from a veneer press screw. then i made a better one using a tail vise screw on my nicholson workbench.. Btw acme thread just means the thread profile is trapezoidal. it is used for other things than vises. i found an old rotted out vise in my old cellar and rebuilt the wooden parts of it. i took the basic design of it and modified it slightly. i used something called a hidden dovetail in order to hold my guide bars..
