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.

The maximum jaw opening for the 165mm Heavy-Duty Welding Vice is 75mm.
The throat depth of this welding vice is 35mm.
The vice is constructed from durable cast iron.
The self-centring swivel jaw is designed to automatically align and grip workpieces of different sizes securely, facilitating accurate positioning for welding.
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.
Mounting hardware (bolts or screws) is not included with the vice. You will need to provide appropriate fasteners suitable for your workbench.
The spindle is copper-plated, which provides excellent resistance to weld spatter, helping to prolong its life and maintain functionality.
Check the spindle threads for debris or damage. Lubricate the threads and ensure there are no obstructions preventing smooth movement.
Ensure the jaws are fully tightened against the workpiece. Clean the jaw surfaces to remove any grease or spatter that might reduce grip.
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.
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.
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:
