Gator Gums
"They make your vise nice"

Please read the Shipping Terms & Information page regarding shipping charges before ordering.

Gator Gums are designed to increase the usability and value of a vise by increasing its versatility. 

Gator Gums have a clear advantage over other vise jaw covers in performance and price.  Some vise jaw covers are made of soft metals such as aluminum or copper, some are wood, plastic and rubberized materials and range in price from $10 to $65 per pair.  The metal vise jaw covers are only useful for materials that are harder than aluminum or copper, wood will splinter, plastic deforms and cracks, and rubber breaks and crumbles under the pressures of a vise.

Gator Gums are made of leather.  Leather is softer than most other material and is very tough and resilient under the extreme pressures of a vise.  Leather has the ability to conform to the shape, contour, profile, and surface texture of virtually any work piece or tool being held in a vise.  Gator Gums will not damage delicate or polished or easily scratched surfaces as they cushion and protect a work piece or tool against damage that would be caused by the hardened steel jaws of a vise.   Gator Gums also conform the knurling of the vise jaws thus creating a much-improved grip between the vise and a work piece or tool.

Gator Gums make pen assembly a breeze using a bench vise.  The leather protects the finish of the pen parts and also protects the threaded ends as the pen components are gently seated prior to final assembly.  Gator Gums hold an item securely for delicate operations such as finishing and repair work.

Gator Gums are meant for light to medium to semi-heavy duty vise use.  Gator Gums improve a vises ability to hold virtually any item while causing no to very little damage to a work piece or the vise itself.

Gator Gums are easy to install and replace when required.  If you do not use any kind of oil or spray lubricant such as WD-40 the Gator Gums with the adhesive backing work very well.  Just remove the protective backing, stick one Gator Gums Vise Jaw Cover on each jaw, and clamp the vise to set them on and that is it.  If you are going to use a lubricant the magnetic backed Gator Gums are recommended.

Instructions for installation

NON MAGNETIC (adhesive backed)

Select the correct size GATOR GUMS for your vise (they come in sizes 4”, 4 ½” 5”, 5 ½”,  6” sizes).  Make sure that vise jaws are free of any grease or dirt. Remove the protective backing from GATOR GUMS vise jaw covers and apply one vise jaw cover to each jaw of your vise. Close the jaws of the vise tight momentarily to set the GATOR GUMS to the knurling of the vise jaws.

MAGNETIC

Select the correct size GATOR GUMS for your vise (the come in sizes 4”, 4 ½” 5”, 5 ½”,  6” sizes).  Make sure that vise jaws are free of any grease or dirt.  Put one GATOR GUMS vise jaw cover on each jaw of your vise.  Close the vise tightly momentarily to allow the magnetic strip  to conform to the knurling of the vise jaws.

Arizona Association of Woodturners
Desert Woodturning Roundup 2011

February 18, 19, & 20, 2011 to be held at the

Mesa, AZ Convention Center

You will not be disappointed attending this symposium!  Make plans now.


My personal opinion...
 
I am a forty-two year resident of Yuma, Arizona.  My home town is located on the Arizona/California/Mexico border along side the Colorado River. Our country has been invaded over the past 25 years and I am no longer willing to keep my head down and not say anything for fear of offending someone.  If my personal beliefs effect my business - I'm willing to live with that.  If I have offended someone - I'm willing to live with that too.

I have lived in this great country for over 60 years and I am not going to back down from any threat directed at the United States from any threat - foreign or domestic.  As Davy Crockett may have said: "Bring em' on!" (although I think the words may have been stated it in much stronger language).  If you would like to see for yourself what this country is up against take a look at this website mexica-movement .

If you would like to help out Arizona please consider donating to our state's legal defense fund by clicking on the link below.  This is not just an Arizona problem - illegal immigration affects all of us.  Should you believe as I do and want to help out then put your money where your mouth is.  70% of us living in Arizona approve of SB1070 and we certainly appreciate your support.  Someday we might be able to financially support your state in accomplishing the same legislation Arizona passed.

$5.00, $10.00 and $20.00 donations are most welcome.  Thank you for your consideration.

Update July 29, 2010   We are not giving up!

A friend sent me the following:
 

What is a Veteran?   A "Veteran" -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount of up to and including his or her life.

It was 113 here yesterday....
   
A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.  He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.

After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.  When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side. When he was close enough, he called out, 'Excuse me, where are we?''  This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered.. 'Wow! Would you happen to have some water?' the man asked.  'Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up.'  The man gestured, and the gate began to open.  'Can my friend,' gesturing toward his dog, 'come in, too?' the traveler asked.  'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.'

The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.
After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence.  As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.  'Excuse me!' he called to the man. 'Do you have any water?'  'Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in.' 'How about my friend here?' the traveler gestured to the dog. 'There should be a bowl by the pump.'  They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.  The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.

When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.  'What do you call this place?' the traveler asked.  'This is Heaven,' he answered. 'Well, that's confusing,' the traveler said. 'The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.' 'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's Hell.'  'Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?' 'No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind.' 

Author unknown but I've been told that this story was presented in an episode of Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone".
