Special vises are also made for wood-carvers, for saw-filing, etc.
[Illustration: Fig.169.Holding a Large Board in Vise for Planing.] The best woodworking benches are equipped with both side- and tail-vises.

The tail-vise is supplemented by movable bench-stops for holding pieces of different lengths.

In planing the side of a board it is held in place between the tail-vise and one of the bench-stops.

A board should not be squeezed sidewise between the jaws of a vise when it is to be planed, lest it be bent out of shape.

In planing the edge of a board it is ordinarily held in the side-vise.
