A Home For Your Vise

Don’t have anywhere to attach your vise it but really want to get it down somewhere? An old chopping board could work.... or how about this this full metal Desktop Workstation!

Heavy Duty

Made from hard anodised aluminium with a ground stainless steel plate that can be used as a work surface or swapped out with a cutting mat (stored underneath). If you ever wanted your own miniature metal shop, this is as close as it gets. 

Hardwearing Workhorse

Bolt your Fractal Vise to this beastie in your preferred configuration and then get crafting. This is designed to be a hardwearing workhorse that you can use for modelling, soldering, metal and glass work, and probably even some low level smithing.

The Name's Cutting, Matt Cutting

A premium cutting mat with a smooth cutting surface that will protect both your work surface and your precious knife blades. This can be tucked under the metal surface plate when not in use.

Stainless Steel Surface Plate

Okay, technically not a calibrated surface plate, but the next best thing for the home desktop. 5mm of solid steel that you can use as a flat building surface, soldering area, or if you just need to hit something with a hammer. This surface will be the backbone of any bench, like a tiny anvil for tiny creations.

Much like the cutting mat it can be used in situ or taken out and used to the side to improve your workflow. 

Rule the World

A stainless steel rule that sits flush into the baseplate and lines up next to the cutting mat for a speedy measure, or pop it up and remove it to get a quick cut. Laser marked in both metric and imperial, the rule is a neat addition to any cutting mat.

Attaching Your Vice

There are two points to attach the vice; one direct to the baseplate and one to attach the vice via the ball joint, so you can set the vice up however works best for you.

Sweet Grooves

No desk is complete without some sweet grooves. Positioned for quick access to what you’re using (and some might say conveniently sized for a MetMo Multi Drive), and also a perfect space for any number of tools like brushes, files or markers.

Tiny Parts Tray

Sometimes you just need to stop that metal ball or tiny screw from rolling away into the abyss of the grey floor. We were sure to include a little zone to store these tiny critters before they can disappear into your carpet.
