Brownells Gunsmith Vise Protective Interchangeable Jaws

What are the Brownells Gunsmith Vise Protective Interchangeable Jaws?

Jaw inserts slip over the factory jaws of your Brownells Gunsmith's bench vise to customize it for specific projects and workpieces.

They are faced with different materials to help grip parts securely while minimizing the risk of damaging or scratching them.

Materials & features

• Insert bodies are lightweight yet strong aluminum and are held in place by powerful rare-earth magnets.
• The aluminum insert material helps prevent magnets from magnetizing steel parts held in the jaws.

Jaw insert options (varies by material/model)

• Prism soft jaws: polyurethane prism jaw inserts for delicate round and oval workpieces.
• Checkered soft jaws: polyurethane inserts with checkering for delicate small parts.
• Prism aluminum jaws: hardness factor between copper and lead; designed for round/oval items.
• Grooved aluminum jaws: grooves for cylindrical parts; includes a deeper center groove for anchoring bolts, rods, pins, etc.
• Fiber jaws: dense fibrous faces hold finely machined or polished parts; heat-resistant and won’t deform with warm workpieces.
• Rubber jaws: for delicate wood/plastic parts and thin-walled tubes; soft synthetic rubber facing backed by three layers of canvas.
• Felt jaws: felt face for extremely delicate workpieces; conforms closely for minimal clamping force.
• Replacement factory steel jaws: replacement steel jaws for Brownells Gunsmith's bench vise (includes smooth and checkered textured faces).
