#026: “Soft Jaws” Magnetic Vice

Erle is still going strong with uses for Aussie magnets, this time with a “soft jaws” attachment for his vice. To prevent the metal jaws of the vice damaging delicate materials, Erle embedded two magnets into pieces of MDF. Then, he simply attaches the MDF to the vice, the magnets lock them in place and he can work safely without the jaws causing any damage. Clever stuff.
