## Description

Easy to carry and easy to use, the Sjobergs Smart Vise is the ideal solution for holding your work material fast – anywhere! It features a generous 4 ½” wide clamping width when open, four round (yet flat on top) bench dogs that can be moved for odd-shaped objects (this makes it an ideal carving vice), and a tough 1” thick MDF top. There are three different clamping options available – dowels, clamps, or screws, making it shine as both a permanent or portable woodworking vice. Sjobergs Smart Vise is another in a long line of exceptional Sjobergs woodworking and workbench products. You’ll appreciate the quality, from the solid handle to the stable top to the fact that it’s so easy to carry and setup. No workshop should be without one.

Review: Well made, good finish
Review: First of all let me start by saying I am reviewing this vise. there is another oner one but that is the pro version and you will pay more for that one. This vise is absolutely perfect for those of us that have limited space or work out of our garages and have to have things picked up and put away so the wife can still put her car in. The is vise does come in pieces however assembly is very easy and takes just a few minutes. A Torx driver is included but I highly suggest you use one of your own. Also when you receive the vise after opening it you will want to pay special attention to how the parts are oriented in the box because they will be assembled in this order as well. I only say that because after removing the pieces from the box I turned the middle section around and almost installed it backwards.... This vise also comes with what I call 'bench pups' the are shorter versions of the bench dogs but work just as well. these bench pups are not spring loaded as the ones included with the pro version but they work just as well. The top is just as it shows in the picture veneer covered MDF. The top is extremely durable and I have had no issues with it even after several projects with it. The most recent project was cutting a series of dovetailed drawers to replace all of my kitchen drawers with. As a special bonus I also have the Kreg Project center. The only modification I made for this vise was to replace the bottom with another piece that was 6 inches wider. Just use the current bottom as a pattern for where to drill the holes and cut and rabbet a new one but make it wider. the reason why you make it wider is so that you can clamp it to the top of the project center with ease. All of the Kreg bench dogs and other dog hole accessories that fit the project center will also fit in this vise. To cut and mount the new bottom to this vise took less than an hour... All in all this vise is a perfect solution for the small shop and is easy stored. Highly recommended and I look forward to purchasing another one.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The vise won’t tighten it pulls the vise gears out, I tried epoxy the groves but it still won’t tighten.**
A: The Sjoberg SJO-33274 has turned out to be a pretty darn good wood carving vice. The only issue is the hole for the wood dogs. to better accommodate projects with dimension smaller than 12" x 12" I would suggest a third set of wood dogs holes down the center line of the vise.

**Q: Will this slip over a 4 3/4 edge?**
A: It's meant to 'slip over' a 1-1/4" edge.   That said, I clamped the bottom piece to a worktop with a clamp which has worked very well. Note: That places the entire vise on top of my workbench, but it must be at an edge of the workbench for the clamp to be able to work.

**Q: What is the distance O.C. between the guide rods on this vise? Also, what are the diameters of the guide rods and screw?**
A: Hello! It is 8" on center. The diameter of the guide rails is 7/8" and diameter of screw is 20mm. For further inquiries, you can chat with us on our website (BoraTool.com) or call us at 248 588 0395. Thank you!

**Q: What is the height of the bench dogs - above the surface - when they are inserted?**
A: The dogs are removable. When installed the are approximately 1/2" above the benchtop.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by Z***N on 16 June 2013*

Das Produkt ist sehr gut und hochwertig verarbeitet. Die Lieferung erfolgt in Einzelteilen und das Ganze muss zunächst zusammen gebaut werden. Dies ist aber mit der beiliegenden Anleitung kein Problem. Unter den richtigen Randbedingungen lässt sich das Produkt für kleinere Abmessungen sehr gut nutzen, wenn keine Hobelbank angeschafft werden soll: Der Einsatz des "Smart Vise" setzt natürlich voraus, dass man einen stabilen Untergrund hat, an den man das Ganze befestigen kann. Dies habe ich durch eine Eigenkonstruktion, die verdübelt ist gelöst. Mit diesem Ansatz kann man auch die begrenzte Größe der Arbeitsfläche nach hinten selber erweitern. Die mitgelieferten Bankhaken haben den Standard 19mm Durchmesser sind aber aus Holz gefertigt. Hiervon kann man natürlich keine Wunder erwarten, klemmen aber ausreichend fest. Fazit: Wer gelegentlich Holzarbeiten durchführt und etwas improvisieren muss, einen mobilen Einsatz benötigt oder sonst wie Teile flach spannen will ist mit dem Produkt gut beraten. Man sollte sich aber im Klaren darüber sein, hier keinen vollwertigen Hobelbank-Ersatz zu erhalten.
