Design : The vice is designed for precision milling operations, featuring a sturdy construction with high-quality materials like hardened steel or cast iron for durability and stability. Self-Centering Mechanism : The vice incorporates a self-centering mechanism, allowing quick and accurate clamping of workpieces without the need for manual centering. This mechanism ensures consistent and uniform clamping pressure across the workpiece.
Jaws : Equipped with hardened and precision-ground jaws, capable of securely holding various shapes and sizes of workpieces. The jaws may have serrated surfaces or interchangeable inserts to provide a firm grip while minimizing surface marring. Swivel Base : The vice is mounted on a swivel base, offering rotational flexibility for positioning workpieces at different angles during milling operations. The swivel base typically allows rotation within a specific range, often adjustable in increments for precise angular positioning. Graduated Scales : Many models come with graduated scales on the swivel base, facilitating accurate angle adjustments and repeatability.
These scales allow operators to set specific angles quickly, enhancing productivity and machining efficiency. Mounted on a Detachable swivel Base caliberated 0 to 360 degrees. Clamping Mechanism : Features a robust clamping mechanism, usually operated by a handle or lever, for secure and effortless tightening of the workpiece.
Some vices may incorporate quick-release mechanisms for rapid setup and removal of workpieces. Tolerance and Accuracy : Engineered to tight tolerance specifications, the vice delivers high precision and accuracy essential for demanding milling tasks. The self-centering mechanism and swivel base contribute to achieving consistent machining results with minimal setup time. Versatility : Suitable for use with various milling machines, including vertical and horizontal mills, as well as CNC machining centers.
The vice's versatile design enables it to accommodate a wide range of applications across different industries, from aerospace and automotive to tool and die making.
