Bench Vise Art-Pol 125 mm fixed jaw (model 23012) 125 mm jaw width

Fixed bench vise Art-Pol 125 mm (model 23012) is a compact clamping tool designed for securing metal, wood and other workpieces during machining, filing and assembly. The vise features a 125 mm jaw width and screw-driven jaws that allow precise adjustment of clamping pressure. Its solid cast construction and fixed base provide stable holding force for hobby and professional workshop tasks while keeping the tool footprint small.

Advantages

The vise delivers dependable grip and positional accuracy through a screw mechanism and hardened jaw faces, enabling repeatable clamping. A fixed base increases rigidity and minimizes movement under load. The compact 125 mm jaw width balances clamping capacity with space efficiency, making it suitable for benchtop installations where a robust but not oversized vise is required.

Suitable for

• Clamping metal parts for drilling, filing and grinding
• Holding wooden pieces during carving, sanding or gluing
• Assembly and light fabrication tasks in hobby and professional workshops
• General-purpose secure holding for measurement and layout work

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 125 mm
• Fixed-base design for increased rigidity
• Screw-driven jaws for controlled clamping
• Hardened jaw faces suitable for metal and wood clamping
• Compact footprint for benchtop mounting

How to use

Mount the vise securely to a stable workbench using appropriate fasteners through the base mounting holes. Open the jaws by turning the main screw counterclockwise, position the workpiece between the jaws, then tighten the screw clockwise until the workpiece is held firmly but without excessive force that could deform the material. For delicate surfaces, use protective jaw covers or soft pads. After completing work, fully open the jaws and clean chips or debris from the screw and jaw faces to maintain smooth operation.

Usage recommendations

For extended life and consistent performance, lubricate the screw occasionally with light machine oil, keep jaw faces clean and free of heavy rust, and use jaw protectors when clamping finished or soft materials. Avoid applying hammer blows directly to the vise body as this can cause stress or misalignment.
