Product Information
Full details
The Proxxon Precision Steel Vice (24255) is designed for machinists and hobbyists requiring high accuracy in delicate tasks, particularly with Proxxon FF 500 machines. Its primary benefit is the precise, stable clamping provided by its solid steel construction, enabling intricate work. A potential limitation is its smaller clamping capacity compared to larger vises. This precision vice offers a 46mm jaw width and a 34mm clamping capacity, milled from solid steel for rigidity and accuracy, and can be used on its side or back.
