WTB: Looking for a lug vise

Is anybody looking to get rid of a lug vise? Not sure I’m clever enough to make my own.

Hey,

I’ve made a lug vise that looks like this from scrap.

  • 2 slots in a tube 180-deg opposite from each other.
  • drill a hole to fit a bolt
  • braze a nut
  • use the bolt to force the walls of the tube apart thereby gripping the inside of the lug.

Just make sure you’re using a tube that has a decent wall thickness.

If your vise is long enough you can put it in a tubing block and then put that in your bench vise.
