Overview - Magnetic Soft Vice Jaws

Rubber magnetic vice jaws

Magnetic Soft Vice Jaw Protectors are high-utility magnetic accessories designed to protect workpieces and improve grip when using bench vises, machine vises, or other clamping fixtures on ferrous materials. These soft vice jaw protectors combine durable, impact-resistant materials with an integrated magnetic backing, allowing them to adhere firmly to steel vice jaws without the need for pins, bolts, or permanent fixings.

The magnetic backing ensures the protectors stay securely in place during machining, fabrication, assembly, and finishing operations, while the soft, non-marring surface helps prevent damage to delicate or finished workpieces. By providing a cushioned interface, magnetic soft vice jaw protectors reduce marks, dents, and surface indentation, contributing to improved quality and finish in precision work.

Engineered for quick installation, repeatable use, and reliable grip, these magnetic soft jaw protectors are ideal for workshops, laboratories, and production environments where workpiece protection and efficient clamping are priorities.


Typical Applications

Magnetic Soft Vice Jaw Protectors are commonly used for:

  • Protecting delicate or finished surfaces during clamping

  • Reducing marring, scratching, and denting of workpieces

  • Improving grip on irregular or fragile components

  • Machining, drilling, grinding, and assembly tasks

  • Workshop, garage, education lab, and prototyping projects

Their magnetic attachment makes it quick and easy to fit or reposition protectors as needed, helping operators maintain efficiency and workpiece integrity.


Why Choose Magnetic Soft Vice Jaw Protectors

Magnetic Soft Vice Jaw Protectors combine surface protection, magnetic convenience, and durable construction to support safer and higher-quality clamping operations. The soft protective layer minimises workpiece damage, while the magnetic backing ensures stable positioning on steel vice jaws or clamping surfaces. This makes them a practical choice for professionals and DIYers who require workpiece protection without compromising clamping strength.
