Front Vice Anti-Racking Shim set
Print Profile(1)
Description
I created this set of anti-racking shims as a remedy to a problem in mine and many other shops.
Whenever using a front vice on a work bench, securing long pieces of wood on either side of the vice results in the vice racking inward on the non-supported side of the vice. Over time this will wreck the vice. While adding another, similarly thick piece of wood on the opposite side of the vice will solve the problem, its very difficult to do with just two hands.
This is where my anti-racking shims come in. The shims are 1/8 in (3.175mm) each. 24 can be stacked on the included assembly rod for a total of 3 inches (76.2mm) of variable thickness. If you want a smaller or larger width capability, just lengthen or shorten the assembly rod.
