Both metal and wooden vice parts have their advantages, and both are sufficient to be used for most clamping tasks.
However, if you are planning on using your vice for heavy-duty clamping then a vice with metal parts may be best suited, as they tend to be stronger and more durable than wooden ones. This is because there is less chance of breakage with metal parts, compared to wooden versions. |

On the other hand, wooden parts also have their benefits. Wooden jaws mean there is no need to worry about damaging the surface of the clamped workpiece, as wood is softer than metal. This means there is less need for jaw pads, which can save you money.
When deciding which to choose, it is best to consider all the advantages and disadvantages of both materials before deciding which is best for you. |
