WOOD WORKING VICE 175MM

Features

• 175 mm jaw width handles a wide range of boards and panels for general woodworking and carpentry.
• Max jaw opening ±210 mm provides ample clamping capacity for thick workpieces and glue-ups.
• Robust grey cast iron body offers excellent rigidity and long service life in a busy workshop.
• Chrome-plated screw, handle and guide rods ensure smooth action and improved corrosion resistance.
• Toe-in jaws and machined housings help the jaws close evenly for reliable, full-length clamping pressure.
• Quick-release mechanism allows rapid opening and closing of the jaws for faster workpiece changes.
• Pre-drilled mounting holes make it easy to bolt the vice securely to your bench front.
• Adjustable front stop can be used as a bench dog for supporting long or wide boards.

Benefits

• Secure, stable workholding minimises movement and vibration so your cuts, joints and sanding passes are more accurate.
• Faster setup and repositioning thanks to the quick-release action and smooth-running screw, saving time on repetitive tasks.
• Versatile clamping options with generous jaw width and opening for everything from edge planing to assembling frames.
• Cleaner, more precise results as the toe-in jaws pull the workpiece tightly against the fixed jaw for an even grip.
• Long-term durability from the heavy-duty cast iron construction and plated moving parts that stand up to workshop use.
• Improved safety by securing the workpiece firmly, reducing the risk of slips while cutting, drilling or chiselling.

Extra Information

• Designed as a front-mounted woodworking bench vice – ideal for carpentry benches, DIY workstations and small joinery shops.
• Suitable for clamping wood as well as many plastic and light metal workpieces when used within the vice’s capacity.
• Supplied as the vice unit only – mounting bolts and bench fixings are not included and should be selected to suit your bench construction.
• A dedicated Service Kit (Code: TCV12175-SK01) with replacement jaws, worm and handle is available separately for long-term maintenance.
• Lead screw and guide rods can be lightly lubricated from time to time to maintain smooth movement.

Specifications

Safety

• Wear eye, ear and dust protection when cutting, drilling, sanding or chiselling workpieces clamped in the vice.
• Ensure the vice is securely bolted to a solid workbench before applying clamping force or working on the material.
• Do not use excessive leverage on the handle – select the correct size vice for the job and avoid over-tightening.
• Keep hands, clothing and loose items clear of the jaws and moving screw while tightening or releasing the vice.
• Periodically inspect the mounting bolts, jaws and handle for wear or looseness and repair or replace components as needed.
