5" magnetic vise guard

thingiverse

Vise guards are covers made of soft material that goes over vise jaws to protect the work you're clamping down on it. Print two of these to make a pair. The vise guards I've made fits a 5" wide vise but they can be used with slightly different sized vises if you choose to do so. There are preset pockets to hold a 8mm diameter magnet (.315"x.118") so the clamps can easily put on or remove from the vise jaws. I've made a grove through the length of the grips so you can use it to grip round tubing or odd shaped objects. Sometimes use these to clamp my skis when I work on them and they are great for many other things. I have put quite a bit of force on these and they've held up quite well so far. Besides, I can always print more of these if they ever deform or break down.
