Why is Vice important tool room equipment in the machine industry?
A quick note on vices
A vise is an important tool in metalworking and woodworking applications. It holds the workpiece and the desired operation is performed on the workpiece. If a workpiece requires planing, drilling, cutting, etc., a vise is required to hold the workpiece and is directly attached to the workbench.
The part of the vise that holds the workpiece is called the jaw. There are two jaws in each vise. One is fixed and the other moves parallel to the other. The screw mechanism meets the need to fasten the workpiece to the table. When the screw is tightened, the jaw moves to the other. The screw is moved until the two jaws firmly clamp the workpiece. Wood, plastic, or metal are used to make jaws, as different types of applications require different types of jaws.
Hand Vice (SImple Vice)
A hand vise is so called because it is made to be used in the hand. Simply designed appearance as if they were a pair of clips. Two linked handles joined at one end, each having a jaw embedded in the other end.
Bench vise
You do not need to attach the vise to the workbench. If the table of the work surface is stable, we can attach the vise either to the surface or it can be mounted on the side. A feature called Swivel is in the vises directly attached to the top of the surface. Allows the vise to rotate at will according to the situation. Most vises have metal jaws. It is good practice to line the jaw with a piece of wood or similar material. Helps protect the integrity of the part. After the jaws wear out over time, they must be replaced. Some vises are used as an anvil to hammer and shape the metal.
Other types of vices are also used. Which bench is needed depends on the strength of the metal or the application to be performed, as the strength, durability and application differ from the vise.
Heavy Duty Table Megemet
The vises that are used frequently or on which a heavier load can be applied are made of iron. They are also called machine vises. In such vices, the characteristics are:
I saw like steel jaws,
Precision sliding bar,
ACME threaded master screw.
A heavy-duty bench vise can have a 360-degree swivel mechanism.
Medium duty bench vises
These vises have replaceable steel upper jaws. They may also have tubular jaws. And they are made of iron. It may have an anvil already built in and may also have 360 degree rotation.
