Bench vise AWTools AW20118 fixed jaw width 60 mm

Fixed bench vise AWTools AW20118 with a 60 mm jaw width is designed to hold small workpieces securely during sawing, filing, drilling and assembly. The vise features a fixed body that provides stable clamping, a screw mechanism for controlled tightening and metal jaws that improve grip on various materials. Intended for hobbyists, light workshop and household tasks, this bench vise helps maintain steady positioning of parts while work is performed.

Advantages

The fixed-body construction minimizes movement during operations, increasing work accuracy. A screw tightening mechanism allows gradual and precise clamping pressure, while metal jaws deliver durability and improved grip on wood, plastic and soft metals. The compact 60 mm jaw width makes the vise suitable for small components and bench setups with limited space. Its simple, robust design reduces maintenance and supports frequent use in non-industrial environments.

Suitable for

• Holding small parts during sawing and filing
• Securing components for drilling and tapping
• Assembly and gluing of small items
• Hobby and model-making tasks

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 60 mm
• Fixed body design for stable clamping
• Screw mechanism for tightening
• Metal jaws for improved grip and durability
• Suitable for bench mounting in hobby and light workshop environments

How to use

Place the bench vise on a stable workbench or mounting surface and secure it according to your bench setup. Open the jaws by turning the screw handle counterclockwise, position the workpiece between the jaws, then tighten by turning the handle clockwise until the part is held firmly. Adjust clamping pressure to avoid deforming delicate materials. For operations requiring rotation or repositioning, release the screw slightly, reposition the part and re-tighten. Regularly check that the vise is mounted securely before applying significant force.

Usage recommendations

Use protective jaw covers or soft pads when working with finished or delicate surfaces to prevent marring. Keep the screw mechanism clean and lubricated occasionally to maintain smooth operation. Avoid using excessive force or hammering on the vise to extend service life. For tasks requiring larger clamping capacity or swivel capability, consider a different model designed for heavy or adjustable use.
