Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use the pin vice, unscrew the collet nut at the end of the vice. Insert the shank of your desired tool (e.g., a small drill bit, file, or engraving needle) into the jaws. Tighten the collet nut firmly to secure the tool. Ensure the tool is centered for optimal performance.
Compatibility: These pin vices are designed to hold standard round-shanked tools commonly used in craftwork and jewelry making. They are compatible with drill bits, files, engraving burrs, and other small implements with shanks that fit within the vice's jaw capacity.
Care: Clean the pin vices regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the brass finish. Store them in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Periodically check the collet and jaws for wear or damage, especially if used frequently.
