The Valfor Tools Router Bit Vise is especially designed to hold your
router bit for easy changing of any parts, such as individual cutters,
bearings, spacers or washers as well as for easy cleaning.
The Bit Vise is made of high quality Stainless Steel, precision machined
to accept router bits without causing damage to their shanks.
With its two holes of ½”and 12mm
diameter the Bit Vise will accept all
commonly sized router bits, either
directly or with the help of an
appropriately sized collet sleeve
(use a reducer bushing with an
outside diameter of ½” and inside
diameter of ¼” for ¼” shanks, or
o/d = 12mm - i/d = 8mm for 8mm
shanks).
With the logo facing the user,
the left hand hole is ½” diameter,
the right hand hole has a 12mm
diameter.
The Bit Vise works best when
mounted on a at, stable surface,
with bolts or appropriately

The Bit Vise should be fastened
near the edge of the work surface
in order to leave sucient room to
turn the hex key.
Once the Bit Vise is securely
fastened, the router bit can be
inserted into the appropriate hole.
Using the supplied hex key, turn
the bolt clockwise to tighten the
jaws of the Bit Vise around the
router bit’s shank just enough to
avoid any slipping of the shank.
Unscrew the top nut with an
appropriately sized wrench to
disassemble the router bit.
Small parts, such as washers,
spacers and the bearing can be
stored safely in the two pockets
carved out of the surface of the Bit
Vise.
To re-assemble all parts in reverse
order it is recommended to space
them accordingly in the two sepa-
rate pockets.

Cleaning the Router Bit:
To avoid overspray, punch a hole
in the bottom of a cut-away plastic
container and place the router bit
through the hole into the Bit Vise.
Keep the router bit loose in the
hole so that it can be turned by
hand for complete cleaning.
The router bit can now be sprayed
safely with cleaning agent and
scrubbed with a brass-bristled
brush.
Please do not attempt to tighten the bolt without a router bit shank in one
of the holes. Such action might cause permanent damage to the Bit Vise.
