Review on Efficient Clamping Solutions with Kreg KBC3 VISE Automaxx Clamp Vise by Warren Hess

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent special clamp, particularly suitable for short boards, drawer fronts and small panels.

is solid 5 stars. This is a great addition to my woodworking vises - I use these vises way more often than I intended. These Kreg Vises have their place when I need to secure the medium sized items I am working with. (Grinding, painting, other finishing work.) Long objects can stand on the ground and can be protected from falling or sliding. The supports can support drawer fronts, small shelves, etc. Also included are two (3x) /4" benches) so you can use this clip in combination with clips for larger items. The blue aluminum base is heavy and thick - 1/4"! T-slots are one size. That means also that you can use the clamp with any universal rail/bar but the clamp will not fit the Incra T-slots (not standard size) - tried it.The clamp can be fixed to steel or wood - fixings are included.Screws -respectively nut heads are fully countersunk. Kreg sells the yoke separately for about $40 so for the extra $ you get a solid base, stops and stops. Plastic stops in place. I can see that they wear out pretty quickly, but you can get steel or brass pretty cheap.

Pros
  • Includes a 3" (76mm) table clamp, an anodized aluminum clamp plate, two mounting latches, two clamp blocks, hardware
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging
