A wanted to replace my cheap vice with one that does not have the jaw tilt up. I found this design and improved upon in.<br>
It uses a central bolt to pull the jaw closed, but also down towards the body. This give it good clamping force but also maintains the jaw level.<br>
To use, loosen the handle and press the jaw up against the part to be clamped, press down gently on the pivot handle, then tighten until the pin catches. Tighten as necessary.
<br>
You will need an M5 nut, washer, and a bolt at least 55mm long if you do not use the handle or at least 95mm if you do.<br>
You will also need 6x 20mm M3 nuts and bolts to secure the body to the base. The base piece is optional, but recommended.<br>

Here is a video about the build!<br>
