The Moxon Vise, named after Joseph Moxon (who described the vise in his book titled Mechanick Exercises), is a great vise. A Moxon vise is especially useful for cutting dovetails and sawing because it holds the material rock solid and in the middle of the vise where it is not obstructed by any hardware.

Rob designed his own version of the Moxon Vise specifically designed for cutting dovetails. It has a built in support that allows you to set your lumber at the perfect sawing height and then a flip up support to use when transferring tails to pins.

It uses all the components that come in our Cosmanized Moxon Vise Kit but it is a completely built vise. If you prefer an already built Moxon vise that is ready to use instead of building your own then this is the vise for you!

Moxon vise review

Love my new “Cosmonized” moxon vise! The added springs make it easy to use one hand to open and close with larger boards and setup using 2 F clamps was as easy and fast as anything could have been; the vise is otherwise light and compact enough to quickly store when bench space is needed; as always, very happy with my purchase from Rob!

Should have bought one sooner

This is the only clever moxon vice you can get on the market. Small enough to store and move as needed. The dovetail marking stand and the springs to help open the jaws are both game changers.

Practice is for woodworking

Works as expected. Just finished two hours practice making dovetails. Super solid vise

Moxon Vise

I was in the middle of several projects that required dovetails and thought a Moxon vise would make the things easier but didn't want to take the time to make one. I saw the Cosman vise for not much more than I could buy the parts and make one myself, so I placed my order. Rob personally called me that evening to thank me for my order (nice touch). The vise shipped the next day and a few days later I had it in my shop. It is well made with an upgraded set of hardware (acme threaded screws and finished wheels). There is also an attached jig to facilitate laying out the pin board. All-in-all I am very happy with the purchase. My neighbor saw the vise and asked if he could borrow it for a project. He loves it as well. He keeps telling me he is going to buy one. I've yet to get mine back.
