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.

I have made several jigs to drill center holes in pen blanks and they worked so-so if I was cutting a bunch at one time. However, this device allows me to set up for one pen set, tear it down and set up later for another pen set and is dead on accurate.

Excellent, I really like it and it is very functional. Makes drilling the center very easy and efficient.

I've had great results with this well made heavy vise. The pressure is applied in the center, rather than on the side as in some less expensive (cheap)vises. I learned a pen vise is not the place to try to save a buck.

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.
