Q: How does this vise avoid the racking problem common in other end vises?
A chain drive links both vise screws together, so they move in sync and keep the jaws parallel no matter where the work is clamped across the width of the vise.

A chain drive links both vise screws together, so they move in sync and keep the jaws parallel no matter where the work is clamped across the width of the vise.
Yes, a spring-loaded lock pin lets you disengage the chain so you can skew the jaws and equalize pressure on out-of-square work.
The standard model accommodates vise screw centers up to 16 7/8", while the wider model accommodates centers up to 24" and includes matching chain length.
You will need two hardwood jaws that you make yourself, plus a 1 1/2" bit to drill four mounting holes. The vise screws, nuts, chain cover, handles and all other hardware are included with complete instructions.
