Pen Blank Drilling Center Vise
Drill through the exact center of your pen blanks… The jaws on the “drilling center” move in and out together to insure precision center drilling of your blanks. Just set up the vise once and drill all of your blanks in the exact center. There’s no need to change the setup regardless of the blank’s size or shape. Holds blanks up to 1-7/8" square.

New Feature - The vise now includes a "scrap waste sleeve", just a 2" by 1/4" piece of scrap (a piece is included with the jig). The scrap piece can be flipped, slid and reversed to get numerous uses out of a single piece.  And when its consumed, must cut yourself a new one from 1/4" plywood.

This is great for drilling my pen stock. It helps me keep the hole on center. All the ratings on it are true.

Prior to buying this vise I have been using a metal vise and square to drill my blanks.. Although I got passable results, once I started to use the centering vise I was extremely happy with the results. Not only were the blanks drilled more accurately, I was able to drill considerably more blanks in the same time due to reduced set up time. I would suggest that anyone making pens should buy this vise.

Accurately holds pen blanks but is difficult to clamp down on drill press. I would rate this MUCH higher if it were longer or had space dedicated for clamping. Two inches on each end or on each side would be perfect. To be fair, I didn't find any other blank vise with clamping space either.

Exceptional quality and ready to use right out of the box. I wish I had purchased this vise when I started making pens.

This is one of the best tools in my shop. It's quick to set up and use, and it's accurate every time. I keep it clamped to my drill press so it's always ready to use. A small investment for a very durable tool.
