FAQs
What is the clamping capacity of this screw?
It offers a clamping capacity of 185mm (7-1/4 inches), excluding the thickness of the wooden shoulder.
What type of threads does this screw use?
It uses single-lead Acme threads for a smooth, reliable, and strong clamping action.
Is the mounting hardware included?
The kit includes the primary screw mechanism; however, you must construct the custom wooden jaws and shoulder pieces yourself.
Can I use this on any workbench?
It is specifically designed for Scandinavian-style workbenches where an L-shaped shoulder vise can be integrated into the structure.
Why does the casting color vary?
Casting colors may vary based on the supply batch, but this does not affect the structural performance of the unit.
Troubleshooting
The vice binds during operation
Check that the threaded guide is properly aligned and that the mortise in the shoulder is not too tight.
Excessive play in the jaw
Verify that the end guide is securely fastened to the vice jaw and that the wooden components have not shrunk due to humidity changes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires creating an accurate mortise in your workbench shoulder to accept the threaded guide. Ensure your wooden jaws are constructed from stable, dense hardwood like Beech or Maple to support the mechanical stress of the screw. Lubricate the Acme threads periodically with a light coat of paraffin wax or dry lubricant to maintain smooth operation. Keep the threaded shaft clean of wood dust and resin buildup, as grit can accelerate wear on the internal threads.
