A tail vise is a type of woodworking vise typically mounted on the end of a workbench. It is designed to hold workpieces securely while allowing for easy access and manipulation. The tail vise features a movable jaw that can be adjusted to accommodate different sizes of materials, making it versatile for various woodworking tasks. Tail vises often work in conjunction with a bench dog system, which provides additional support and stability for the workpiece. This combination allows woodworkers to clamp materials at different angles and positions, enhancing precision and efficiency during projects.
