Specifications

Connect Your Swanstrom Stakes to the Bonny Doon Vertical Vise

The Bonny Doon Vertical Vise Adapter serves one important purpose: it allows compatible Swanstrom Anvil forming stakes and mandrels to be securely held in the Bonny Doon Vertical Vise.

Attach the compatible forming tool to the adapter with the included mounting bolt, then secure the hexagonal adapter body in the Vertical Vise.

This gives your Swanstrom-compatible forming tools an additional mounting option and makes it easier to integrate them into a Bonny Doon Vertical Vise workstation.

Hexagonal Steel for Secure Mounting

The adapter's hexagonal steel body gives the vise jaws flat surfaces to grip.

This shape helps create a stable connection and resist unwanted rotation while the forming stake is in use. The secure mounting allows you to concentrate on the workpiece and forming process rather than movement of the holder.

Includes 2.5" Mounting Bolt

A 2.5-inch mounting bolt is included for attaching a compatible Swanstrom forming stake or mandrel to the adapter.

Once the forming tool is attached, the adapter can be secured in the Bonny Doon Vertical Vise for a solid, convenient forming setup.

Expand Your Bonny Doon Forming System

The adapter is particularly useful for jewelers and metalsmiths who already own multiple Swanstrom-compatible Bonny Doon forming stakes.

Compatible stakes are available for a variety of forming techniques, including:

• Anticlastic forming
• Synclastic forming
• Narrow-profile forming
• Triple-profile forming
• Combination forming

With the adapter, these interchangeable forming tools can become part of your Bonny Doon Vertical Vise setup as well as your Swanstrom Anvil system.

More Flexibility at the Jewelry Bench

A modular forming system allows you to choose the holder and working position that best suit the project at hand.

The Vertical Vise Adapter provides another way to securely position compatible Swanstrom stakes, giving you greater flexibility when arranging your bench or approaching a particular forming operation.

It's a simple accessory that can make an existing collection of forming stakes considerably more versatile.
