Bench vise AWTools AW20119 fixed 70 mm jaw width, cast iron body

The AWTools AW20119 fixed bench vise with 70 mm jaw width is a compact clamping tool designed to secure small to medium workpieces during filing, sawing, drilling and assembly. Its cast iron body provides stable mass and resistance to deformation under standard workshop loads. The fixed design is intended for permanent attachment to a workbench to ensure consistent alignment and reliable clamping for hobby, repair and light professional tasks.

Advantages

The cast iron construction delivers durability and stable holding force while minimizing flex during use. A 70 mm jaw width accommodates a wide range of component sizes common in metalworking, woodworking and general repair tasks. The fixed mounting reduces play and maintains alignment over repeated operations, making the vise suitable for precise manual work. Simple mechanism and robust materials require minimal maintenance for long service life.

Suitable for

• Securing small to medium metal parts for filing and grinding
• Holding wooden pieces for sawing and chiseling
• Stabilizing components for drilling and tapping
• Light assembly and repair tasks in workshops and hobby spaces

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 70 mm
• Body material: cast iron
• Design: fixed bench vise for permanent mounting
• Typical applications: filing, sawing, drilling, assembly

How to use

Mount the vise securely to a solid workbench using appropriate bolts for the bench material and thickness. Open the jaws to fit the workpiece, position the part so the clamping area aligns with the vise jaws, then tighten the screw until the workpiece is held firmly without causing deformation. Use protective jaw covers or soft pads when clamping delicate materials to prevent surface damage. After use, keep the screw mechanism clean and lightly lubricated to maintain smooth operation.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when working with clamped parts. Avoid applying excessive impact or torque beyond the vise’s capacity and do not use the vise as an anvil. Inspect mounting bolts periodically and re-tighten if necessary to preserve safe and accurate clamping.
