  • Publication number: 20210107072
    Abstract: A router bit vise that holds and prevents the rotation of a router bit in a selected direction. It includes a tool housing and a cylindrical throughbore. Located in the throughbore is a one-way clutch assembly sized to accept a router bit shank. When inserted into the one-way clutch passageway, the router bit shank is engaged by the one-way clutch mechanism preventing movement in one rotational sense and allowing freewheeling movement in the opposite sense. No externally applied clamping force is required. With the router bit shank engaged with the one-way clutch circumferential rotation of the router bit is controlled allowing for bit maintenance, including cleaning, sharpening and most importantly enabling the application of the torque necessary to tighten or loosen a router bit fastener with no potential for shank slipping or damage.
