Bandsaw vise helper

That is a good idea. We usually jam a similarly wide piece of steel in the back so the vise will grip the short piece without swiveling, but I like this better and it adjusts to whatever width you need. Thanks for sharing, I'll have to whip one of those up.

Funny how there are a million ways to do something and you never think of them until someone tells you about it.

I don't know if this has been posted before, but I got this idea from a friend of mine using some all-thread a threaded piece of steel to help a vise on a Band saw when you're trying to clamp a too small piece in it.

I just used a 1/2" bolt with a flange nut to take up the slack on the other side of the vise to keep it from coming loose.

He also has been using a small 4-6" Harbor Freight drill press vise with the sides milled or cut off and installed in the band saw to hold lengthwise pieces of stock to cut them.
