FAQs
What types of projects is this vice best suited for?
This vice is ideal for detailed work such as model painting and assembly, jewelry repair and creation, electronics soldering, and any task requiring precise, stable holding of small parts.
Are the jaw inserts included?
Package contents can vary. Please check the product packaging details to confirm if interchangeable jaw inserts are included with your specific model. They are often sold separately.
How do I clean the DSPIAE AT-SV?
Clean the vice with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure it is free from dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive materials or solvents.
What is the clamping capacity of the jaws?
The clamping capacity depends on the specific jaw inserts used. The precision jaws are designed for small and delicate parts, generally up to a few centimeters in width, depending on the insert.
Can this vice be mounted permanently?
While it can be used free-standing on a stable surface, many users opt to mount it for maximum stability during demanding tasks. Mounting hardware compatibility may vary.
Is the spherical base lockable at any position?
Yes, the spherical base can be freely adjusted and then locked securely into place, allowing for precise positioning from any angle.
What materials can the jaws hold?
The vice is capable of holding various materials including metal, plastic, wood, and glass, provided the correct interchangeable jaw inserts are used to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
Workpiece slips or is not held securely.
Ensure the main clamping knob is sufficiently tightened. Check that the correct jaw inserts are being used for the workpiece material and shape. Clean the jaws if they are covered in dust or debris.
Spherical base is stiff or difficult to adjust.
Verify that no debris is obstructing the movement of the spherical joint. Loosen the main locking collar if it is over-tightened.
Jaws are difficult to insert or remove.
Ensure the vice's clamping mechanism is fully open. Check for any obstructions or damage to the jaw slots.
