Heavy Duty Bench Vice - AB Tools - BLK471

This is a 4-inch (100mm) vice, referring to the maximum opening capacity when the jaws are fully extended.

The vice is manufactured from heavy-duty cast iron for maximum strength and durability.

While primarily designed for metalworking, it can be used for woodworking with appropriate jaw protectors to prevent marring the wood.

Mounting hardware (bolts, washers, nuts) is not typically included with the vice; users should select appropriate hardware for their workbench.

The jaws are adjusted by turning the main screw handle, which moves the movable jaw inwards or outwards.

The anvil is a hardened surface used for hammering, shaping, or flattening metal pieces directly on the vice.

While the swivel base offers rotation, specific locking mechanisms may vary. Ensure it is firmly tightened for stable operation.

Ensure the main screw is clean and lubricated. Check for any debris lodged between the screw and the vice body. If jaws are worn, professional refurbishment may be needed.

Clean any dirt or rust from the swivel mechanism. Apply a penetrating lubricant and work the swivel back and forth until it moves freely.

Verify that all mounting bolts are tightened securely to the workbench. Ensure the workbench itself is stable and not prone to movement.

Minor imperfections can be smoothed with a file or grinding stone. Significant damage may require professional attention or replacement if parts are available.
