Description:

The Putty Vise is a small, purpose-built holding fixture designed for small glass or gemstone drilling. It works by using a moldable putty bed to cradle irregular shapes that are difficult to clamp in standard jaws. This style of vise helps support delicate parts while you drill, reducing the chance of chipping, cracking, or the workpiece shifting mid-hole. It is especially useful when you need stable support without point-loading the glass the way a hard metal clamp can.

How it is used:

• Press a small amount of putty into the vise area to create a supportive bed
• Seat the glass or gemstone into the putty and adjust until it is level and stable
• Drill slowly with appropriate coolant and light pressure, letting the putty support the piece as you work
• Reposition as needed to access different drilling angles or locations
