S&F Stead & Fast 6-Inch Soft Jaws – Magnetic Vise Pads for Bench Vise

Upgrade your clamping with S&F Stead & Fast 6" Soft Jaws

Designed to transform how you hold workpieces, these magnetic soft jaws blend protective cushioning with a secure grip. Two distinct surfaces give you the flexibility to tackle a wide range of shapes and materials without swapping accessories. The result is a cleaner finish and steadier control across your tasks.

Dual-functional surfaces for versatile gripping

• Waffle grip surface secures soft materials like wood, aluminum, and copper without marring the surface.
• Multi-groove angle surface features precision grooves to grip cylindrical objects in multiple diameters, enabling vertical, horizontal, or 60° angled clamping.

Strong magnetic hold you can rely on

• Total of 11 rare earth magnets (8+3) provide a robust, instant attachment to your bench vise.
• The industrial-strength magnetic grip resists shifting when you swap pieces or apply lateral pressure.

Premium TPU protection for finishes

• High-grade TPU cushions the workpiece while maintaining a firm, non-slip grip under heavy pressure.
• Non-marring protection helps prevent scratches during cutting, drilling, grinding, or polishing on a variety of materials.

Wide compatibility for diverse setups

• Designed for 6-inch vises and compatible with bench vises, drill press vises, clamps, and clamp-on setups.
• Ideal for gripping wood, metal, plastics, and tubing with a secure, non-damaging hold across common shop tasks.

Real-world use cases and practical tips

In everyday workshops, these jaws help manage delicate pieces and awkward shapes with confidence. Field tasks like woodworking, automotive component work, or small metal fabrication benefit from a stable platform that protects surfaces while enabling precise alignment. While results vary by material and geometry, the dual-surface design supports a range of operations—from rough shaping to fine finishing—without needing to change jaws mid-job.

Usage ideas include holding boards for planing, securing tubing for cutting, or stabilizing parts during drilling and polishing. The combination of surface protection and strong magnetism makes hands-on tasks smoother, with less fiddling and fewer tool changes.

Care and longevity

• Keep magnets clean to maintain peak holding power.
• Inspect contact surfaces for debris and wipe clean after use to preserve grip and finish protection.

By integrating these soft jaws into your bench setup, you gain a versatile, non-damaging holding solution that adapts to many common shop tasks. They are a helpful addition for those who value finish quality and stable workpiece control without sacrificing speed or flexibility.
