Product Information:

The unique design of this vise assures the jaws clamp firmly and quickly and remain both parallel to each other and square to your drill press table. The jaw design eliminates off center holes in your pen blanks and increases your production while making a critical pen-making process easy. Featuring a comfortable T-handled grip and a fully adjustable heavy duty toggle clamp the Deluxe Self-Centering Pen & Bottle Stopper Vise features vertical "V" slots in the jaws which secure round or square blanks under your bit for perfect, repeatable drilling. Just clamp a pen or bottle stopper blank in the vise, center under your drill bit and clamp the vise base to your table. The vise will remain centered on every subsequent pen blank up to 1- 1/2" square, (2- 3/16" diagonal).


  • Comfortable T-handle design

  • Clamping capacity from 0 – 2- 3/16”

  • Repeatable drilling every time

    At long last I can drill those pesky 7mm holes without the bit wandering off course! Align it once on the drill press table and use it. It is accurate and the results are completely repeatable. Like previous reviewers, I wish it would handle a larger blank.

    This is a great pen blank vice, easy to set up and works great. But as far as bottle stoppers, the jaws just do not open wide enough for some bottle stopper blanks. Wish they had a little more adjustment.

    Comments about WoodRiver Deluxe Self Centering Pen and Bottle Stopper Drilling Vise :

    Simply mark the center of one pen blank, or bottle-stopper blank, place it in the vise, clamp the vise on the drill press table, and drill as many blanks as you like. The hole in each blank will be centered, with no need for additional marking or adjusting for the various sizes of blanks. The vise is very easy to use and works well. I wish it could be customized to more easily clamp to a Woodpecker or Kreg drill-press table.

    Better design than I've seen elsewhere. I wasn't looking for a new pen vise but since this also would handle my bottlestoppers, I thought I'd give it a try. Seems very durable so far. T handle is a plus.
