Swix Jaw Economy Vise lightweight metal ski vise — clamp-on table mount, adjustable center jaw for bindings/AFD

If you maintain skis at home or run a small tuning station, the Swix Jaw Economy Vise gives a stable, adaptable platform without taking up a lot of space. Built from durable metal and engineered to accept any binding or AFD, this vise simplifies everyday base and edge maintenance. Its clamp-on design fits most worktops, while the center jaw adjusts to accommodate different ski widths so you can quickly switch from race skis to wider freeride boards.

How does this vise attach and stay stable during tuning?

The Jaw Economy Vise uses a heavy-duty table clamp that tightens securely to most workbench or table edges, producing a steady working surface. The low-profile footprint helps reduce wobble when applying wax or working edges, and the metal construction adds mass for stability.

• Clamps to tables up to common thicknesses for home benches
• Threaded tightening mechanism for firm holding power
• Weighted metal build reduces vibration while scraping or filing

Will it work with my bindings or anti-friction device (AFD)?

The center clamp is designed to accept skis with bindings or AFDs in place, so you don’t need to remove mounted hardware before servicing the bases or edges. The adjustable center jaw accommodates narrow racing skis and wider boards, offering a universal fit for mixed equipment collections.

• Center clamp clears common binding profiles and AFDs
• Adjusts to multiple ski widths without extra adapters
• Secure grip keeps ski aligned for precise edge angles

Can I use the vise for both base and side edge tuning?

Yes — the design supports both base work and side-edge adjustments, letting you set up tools and angle guides easily. The vise holds skis at a convenient height and orientation for waxing, scraping, and filing, enabling repeatable results across multiple skis.

• Positions skis for easy access to side edges and base surfaces
• Compatible with angle guides and handheld tools for tuning
• Stable platform for consistent passes when filing or stone polishing

What makes this a durable, long-lasting option?

Manufactured from solid metal, the Jaw Economy Vise is built to withstand repeated clamping, tuning, and transport. Components are simple and serviceable, minimizing wear points and making this a practical, low-maintenance addition to your tuning kit.

• Robust metal frame resists bending or deformation
• Basic mechanical parts that are easy to maintain or replace
• Designed by Swix with a focus on longevity and everyday use

Who is this for? The Swix Jaw Economy Vise is aimed at home tuners, ski clubs, and small shops that need a reliable, cost-effective way to hold skis for waxing and edge work. If you value a compact, portable setup that handles a variety of bindings and ski widths, this vise provides professional-feeling stability without the bulk or expense of larger bench vises.
