Woodpeckers Iron-Grip Small Parts Holder enhances your safety and improves accuracy when routing small workpieces on your router table. The idea has been around for quite some time, but the build quality of most versions on the market leaves much to be desired. Instead of plastic jaws and a too-small vice screw, Woodpeckers engineered the Iron-Grip Small Parts Holder in substantial aircraft-grade aluminium jaws and a heavy-duty Acme-threaded steel vice screw that holds your work in securely. Woodpeckers also added in a fence guide similar to the Woodpeckers Coping Sled so the Iron-Grip isn't limited to use with bearing-guided router bits, you can use it to cut rabbets, dadoes, grooves, tenons and half-lap joints on small parts easily, accurately and safely. The Clamping capacity of the Woodpeckers Iron-Grip Small Parts Holder is 226mm (10-1/2").
Makes your workspace bigger
When you're using a bearing-guided router bit the Iron-Grip keeps your hands out of the way and effectively makes your workpiece 'bigger' by clamping it in the same plane as the 3 aluminium clamp blocks. Depending on the profile of your router bit, parts as small as 75mm x 75mm (3/4" x 3/4") can be gripped securely and routed safely.
Saves time and improves accuracy
Woodpeckers built in another time-saving and accuracy-improving feature. Install the threaded stop pins in a set of holes in the jaws. Now the extension of your workpiece beyond the jaws is set and repeatable, no matter how many pieces you have to rout! There are 5 sets of threaded holes in the jaws for the stop pins, ranging from 12.7mm (1/2") from the edge to 95.3mm (3-3/4") from the edge. When you don't need the stop pins, they are stored conveniently on the outside of the jaws.
Rout safely across any straight router bit
To complete the Iron-Grip Small Parts Holder Woodpeckers added a fence guide. No matter how narrow your workpiece is, you can rout it safely across any straight router bit. Just align your stock and the fence guide to the fence. The fence guide slides along the fence carrying your narrow workpiece perfectly through the cut. Most of us have learned the trick of backing up our workpiece with scrap stock to prevent backside tear-out and Iron-Grip's secure clamping and positive alignment makes that a snap.
The standard fence guide supplied with the Iron-Grip will handle a depth of cut to 38mm (1-1/2").
