| Tube Clamping Jaws |
 These novel accessories give your SwissRex and z-Vise the ability to hold round stock at any angle. Instantly slipped into place over the standard vise jaws, tube jaws have grooves of varying sizes to facilitate secure gripping of round stock. The gripping modules can also be rotated in place to adjust the position of your work without re-clamping. Tube jaws are ideal for working on pipes, tubing, guns, bicycles, and much more! Sold in pairs.

| Lower Plastic Jaws |
 These perform the same function as the upper soft jaws supplied with the basic vise, except that they cover the bottom part of the clamp instead of the top. They are particularly useful when using the vise in the "low-jaw" position. Sold in pairs. (PLEASE NOTE: If you own one of the very first Zyliss Vises made, they do not have slots in the bottom of the jaws which means the lowere soft jaws cannot be used with those vises.)

| PLANO Vertical Glue Press |
Are you tired of buckled panels and messy gluing tables?
The PLANO Vertical Glue Press will keep your valuable floor and bench space clear, while automatically assuring you of a well-laminated, flat panel or board, every time. And you won’t even need dowels or biscuits!
Why PLANO is your BEST solution for gluing solid wood panels.
- PLANO produces a superior quality glued-up panel.
Unique, patented PLANO design provides pressure on both edges and both faces of the project, creating superior quality joints and completely eliminating buckled panels.
- PLANO can handle almost any size panel you need.
- Thickness: PLANO’s linking arms automatically adjust to any board thickness from 0+ up to 5”.
- Length: limited only by the length of the wall where you mount your PLANO, and by number of mounting rails you have installed (onto which you hang your PLANO clamps). Just butt one 39.37” (1000mm) mounting rail next to another: the final rail can be easily cut off to suit your exact requirements, if needed. We recommend one PLANO clamp for every 12” of rail.
- Width: PLANO clamps are available in three heights: the original 43” (1100mm), the expanded 49” (1250mm), and the latest addition to the program, the 55” (1400mm) clamp. Clamp height determines maximum clamping width, since panels are held on their side in the PLANO system. All sizes let you clamp a single large panel or multiple narrower panels at one time, up to the total capacity of the clamp. To clamp several smaller panels edge-to-edge, simply leave out the glue between the last and first boards, respectively, of the adjacent panels.
Note: The shorter the clamp, the easier it is to load and unload. We therefore recommend you order only the height you will actually need, to ensure that using your PLANO will be as easy and convenient as possible!
- PLANO is maintenance-free.
PLANO clamps are easily cleaned of glue residue and are designed to ensure a lifetime of consistent operation and professional-quality results.
- PLANO makes stronger joints than conventional clamps or less advanced systems.
Unlike pipe/bar clamps which invariably “pinch” slightly on the bar side, PLANO applies centered and even pressure to the gluing surface because it completely surrounds the joint, resulting in a stronger, better-looking joint even without the use of dowels or biscuits.
- PLANO saves you space.
Vertical wall mounting cuts the shop surface area required for gluing up with conventional bar clamps, gluing racks or gluing tables by up to 90%.
- PLANO saves you money.
Wide boards cost more and tend to warp; with your PLANO you can easily glue up more affordable narrow boards to produce wide, warp-resistant panels. And because Plano properly aligns your boards better, panels glue up flat and require less planing and surfacing, That lets you start the process with less surplus wood thickness, too, so you can save even more on your lumber purchases.
- PLANO saves time and effort.
- vertical position of panels makes loading easy and reduces drying time.
- properly set up, panels can never “rack”: your panels are always square.
- proper alignment of the boards (no buckling) saves hours of planing and sanding.
- Dowels and biscuits become unnecessary, further reducing cost and time.

While the z-Vise and SwissRex are not designed for use with metal parts and the extreme clamping torque they often require, occasional use with metal parts is inevitable in most shops. The metal covers are set over the large clamping faces of the jaws to protect the clamping surfaces from the damage otherwise caused by metal or other hard objects being held. Why not save yourself the cost of resurfacing your jaws? Sold in pairs. NOTE: SWISSREX JAW COVERS ARE STEEL, z-VISE COVERS ARE ALUMINUM.
