Quick Release Vice - 175mm

This quick release vice is cast, machined and assembled by the world's leading and largest vice manufacturer, who have been established since 1950. The body of the vice is precision CNC machined from solid grey iron castings, a material recognised for its wear resistance and high compressive strength. The vice has a class leading clamping force of 19000N for assured workholding.

The 175mm wide front jaw is fractionally tapered toward the rear jaw, so that when under clamping pressure the jaws become parallel for positive non slip clamping. The lead screw is made from hardened and tempered steel and features a buttress thread that ensures fast, smooth and controlled movement. Buttress threads are stronger in shear than any other power thread, combining the high efficiency of a square thread with the high strength of a V thread.

The advantage of this quick release vice is that by depressing the front trigger, the lead screw disengages from the cast nut allowing you to slide the jaw back and forth with one hand. Once you workpiece is position, release the trigger and clamp up using the tommy bar.

Both front and rear jaws are pre-drilled to accept wood sub fences to protect the surface of the workpiece and the front jaw features a height adjustable dog for clamping against a bench dog on your workbench. The castings of the vice are finished in an epoxy powder paint that is extremely hard wearing, chip and corrosion resistant. This is a premium quality, premium performance quick release vice that can be found in professional workshops worldwide. ©
