A vise works like a pair of extremely strong hands that hold a work piece securely. A vise consists of two large, flat jaws that adjust by turning a long screw. When clamping something that moves around easily, apply emery cloth to the sides of the vise with double-sticking tape (figure A). When clamping something breakable, such as tile, surround the material with felt or a soft cloth (figure B). Shoulder vises are clamped onto the side of a workbench (figure C). Hold-down vises are the most portable kind and can be clamped anywhere (figure D). Some workbenches come with built-in vises (figure E).
