Hand-Screw Vise Holds Odd Pieces on Drill Press
To make a versatile drill-press vise for round or irregular workpieces, start with an inexpensive 10-in. wood hand screw. Cut a 110° notch out of each jaw with a bandsaw. Clamp the hand screw to the drill-press table and you now have a vise that can securely hold a piece up to 8 in. in. diameter.
