FAQs

What is the maximum jaw opening of this vice?

The jaws can open to a maximum of 120mm.

What is the width of the jaws?

The jaw width is 100mm.

What material is the vice made from?

The vice is constructed from heavy-duty cast iron.

How is the vice attached to a workbench?

It features pre-drilled mounting holes for secure attachment to a workbench or other surface using bolts.

Is this vice suitable for light hobby projects?

While it can be used for lighter tasks, its heavy-duty construction makes it particularly well-suited for more demanding workshop, factory, or serious DIY projects.

How do I maintain the vice?

Regularly clean the vice and apply a light oil to the lead screw and guide rails to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.

Troubleshooting

Vice jaws do not close completely

Ensure the lead screw is clean and lightly lubricated. Check for any debris obstructing the jaws or screw mechanism. If the issue persists, verify that the workpiece is not exceeding the maximum jaw opening capacity.

Vice feels loose or shifts during use

Re-tighten all mounting bolts securing the vice to the workbench. Ensure the workbench surface is solid and stable. If the workbench itself is not rigid, consider reinforcing it.

Difficulty turning the handle

Clean the lead screw and internal mechanism. Apply a light machine oil to the lead screw and guide path. Operate the jaws back and forth to distribute the lubricant.

Rust on the vice

Clean the rusted areas with a wire brush or steel wool. Apply a rust inhibitor or a light coating of oil to exposed metal surfaces to prevent future rust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the Oypla Bench Vice, select a sturdy workbench or solid surface. Align the vice's mounting holes with pre-drilled holes on your workbench or mark the positions for new holes. Secure the vice using appropriate bolts, washers, and nuts, ensuring it is firmly attached and does not move. Test the jaw action by opening and closing it fully to ensure smooth operation.
