Cons

  • Best suited for lighter-duty applications, not heavy industrial use.
  • Clamping force of 1300 kg/m² may be insufficient for very demanding tasks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the Sealey CV100E, position it on a stable workbench and secure it using appropriate screws or bolts through the mounting holes. Ensure the workbench surface is level and capable of supporting the vice and the workpiece. The vice is compatible with most standard workbenches. For care, regularly clean the vice body and jaw mechanisms to remove dust and debris. Apply a light coat of oil to the guide rods and screw thread periodically to maintain smooth operation and prevent rust. Ensure the serrated jaws are kept clean for optimal grip. Replace jaws when they become excessively worn.
