Product Information

Full details

The Loops 165mm Heavy-Duty Welding Vice is designed for welders and DIY enthusiasts who need to achieve precise 90-degree angle welds. Its key benefit is the self-centring swivel jaw, which accurately holds workpieces of different sizes, improving weld precision and efficiency. A potential caveat is its specific focus on 90-degree welding applications, meaning it may not be ideal for all joint types. This durable cast iron vice features a copper-plated spindle resistant to weld spatter and a sturdy base for easy bench mounting, making it a reliable tool for consistent results.

FAQs

What is the maximum jaw opening?

The maximum jaw opening for the 165mm Heavy-Duty Welding Vice is 75mm.

What is the throat depth of the vice?

The throat depth of this welding vice is 35mm.

What material is the vice made from?

The vice is constructed from durable cast iron.

How does the self-centring swivel jaw work?

The self-centring swivel jaw is designed to automatically align and grip workpieces of different sizes securely, facilitating accurate positioning for welding.

Is the vice suitable for heavy-duty industrial use?

While built from durable cast iron and designed for heavy-duty applications, its suitability for specific industrial workflows depends on the demands and workpiece sizes relative to its specifications.

Does it come with mounting hardware?

Mounting hardware (bolts or screws) is not included with the vice. You will need to provide appropriate fasteners suitable for your workbench.

How resistant is the spindle to weld spatter?

The spindle is copper-plated, which provides excellent resistance to weld spatter, helping to prolong its life and maintain functionality.

Troubleshooting

Vice jaws do not close fully or evenly.

Check the spindle threads for debris or damage. Lubricate the threads and ensure there are no obstructions preventing smooth movement.

Workpiece slips during welding.

Ensure the jaws are fully tightened against the workpiece. Clean the jaw surfaces to remove any grease or spatter that might reduce grip.

Difficulty mounting the vice to the workbench.

Verify that the mounting holes on the vice align correctly with the chosen mounting location. Use appropriately sized and strong fasteners suitable for your workbench material.

Excessive weld spatter buildup on the spindle.

Wipe the copper-plated spindle with a clean cloth after each use. If spatter hardens, gently remove it with a wire brush. The copper plating offers resistance, but regular cleaning is still recommended.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Facilitates accurate 90-degree angle welds.
  • Self-centring jaw accommodates varied workpiece sizes.
  • Durable cast iron construction ensures longevity.
  • Copper-plated spindle resists weld spatter.
  • Easy bench mounting for stable operation.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for 90-degree angle welds; less versatile for other joint types.
  • Specific jaw opening (75mm) may limit very large projects.
  • Net weight not specified, potentially affecting portability if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the 165mm Heavy-Duty Welding Vice, select a sturdy workbench. Align the vice using the pre-drilled holes in its base with your desired mounting surface. Secure the vice to the workbench using appropriate bolts or screws (not included). Ensure the vice is firmly attached before use to prevent movement during operation.

Compatibility: This vice is designed for holding metal workpieces for welding. Its primary function is to secure items for 90-degree angle joints. Compatibility is based on workpiece size relative to the jaw opening (75mm) and throat depth (35mm).

Care: To maintain the vice's performance and lifespan:

  1. Keep the jaws clean and free from debris.
  2. Periodically lubricate the spindle threads to ensure smooth operation.
  3. Wipe away weld spatter promptly, especially from the copper-plated spindle.
  4. Store the vice in a dry environment to prevent rust.
