Triton SJA200 Superjaws Workbench

by Triton

Product Description

Clamping and releasing your work has never been faster or easier. The adjustment of the jaw opening is instantaneous, this is not a screw vise so there are no handles to wind. Simply slide the moving jaw up to the work piece and press the foot pedal to apply the right amount of clamping force. To unlock, push the release plate for instant release. The clamping range is from 0 to 35 In. and the mechanism is capable of clamping forces well over 2000 Lb. but the user can regulate the pressure by applying light pressure on the foot pedal. Due to the 3 legged design it is incredibly stable on all surfaces and it can hold large and awkward pieces with the optional log gripping jaws. Super jaws is sold fully assembled and it is ready for use in about 20 seconds. It is easily folded for transportation and storage.

I'm very happy with the design and quality of this versatile tool. It is expensive, but if you have the money, it will be a tool that will last and you can pass down.

It has a good heft and stability, easily moved (and folded if needed) not too heavy, not too light, no sharp edges - well thought out and constructed.

It is especially good for welding, because of its mostly metal construction, hands-free clamping action, and strength for holding odd shaped things in unusual positions -- but you will probably need to pay even more for the metal engineer jaws. Changeover of the jaws is quick and simple. I welded a piece of square tubing onto the bottom of a 1/4" x 2' x 2' steel plate and it makes a great little welding table clamped into the stand.

The soft jaw inserts that come with it allow you to clamp wood without marring. The movable jaw can be reversed to make a huge (30" IIRC) clamping range. The foot pedal has enough "feel" so that you can clamp lightly or with tremendous force. I also bought the side-tray - can be handy, but I'm not sure worth the price. I have not used it with the log jaws.

The height is not adjustable. The plastic slider on the front to switch between clamp and release is inset and DOES need to be done by hand. It takes some time to learn to remember to do it before you have your hands full. I don't think these are flaws though, just design decisions that allow it to be sturdy and simple.

4.0 out of 5 stars triton superjaws workbench, February 13, 2008

I really like this tool, I make rustic furniture and the vise portion of this tool has great ability to hold large and small pieces. I like the foot operated control for the vise as it lets me use my hands while I secure a piece. I am amazed at how much pressure this vise produces for actual hold down, it is also very easy to reposition a piece. Very solid in construction and it is heavy duty. My only compliant is the three legged tripod needs a better way to keep the legs on the deck.IE; when I have a log in the vise and I am using a draw knife for cleaning bark then it wants to tilt one leg off the floor, I used sand bags to hold legs in place

I was looking to buy a vise for my workbench but when I saw this tool I thought it would be a little bit more versatile than a regular vise. Was I wrong, it is a lot more versatile than a regular vise! Since buying the standard bench I have bought the two extra jaws and the tool tray. This tool is well built works very smoothly and is easily folded up and taken anywhere. I have used the log holding jaws the hard rubber jaws and the engineers jaws and am very pleased with all. This tool will cost you more than a regular vise but it can be used for far more applications.The vise jaws have a lot of holding power so be careful when clamping anything that is fragile.
