oldman_pottering Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 If you were replacing vice jaws would you use hardwood or softwood ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 That depends. If you are concerned about possibly marring the work pieces, go soft. Honestly, I've used both hard and soft wood vice jaws, and never had a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tpt life Posted November 5, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 I’d use the most stable wood I could find, and glue cork or suede to the jaws. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-dub Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 I used hard maple. The movable chops have leather applied. I have also used beech here in SoCal but I hear it can be unstable in areas with decent humidity swings throughout the year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
