Table Vise AWTools AW20121 50 mm rotating jaw capacity

AWTools AW20121 is a bench-mounted table vise with a 50 mm jaw capacity and a rotating base that allows adjustable clamping angles. The vise is intended for small workshop and hobby tasks where a compact, stable clamp is required. Its rotating feature enables users to change the orientation of the workpiece quickly without unmounting or repositioning the entire vise, simplifying operations such as filing, sawing, drilling and light assembly.

Advantages

The 50 mm jaw capacity provides a compact clamping area suitable for small parts and delicate work. The rotating base offers incremental swivel adjustment for improved access and ergonomic positioning of the workpiece. Robust construction and a bench-mount design deliver stable holding during common bench operations while saving workspace. The vise’s screw mechanism ensures controlled closing force for precise clamping.

Suitable for

• Filing and deburring small metal or wooden parts
• Sawing and cutting small workpieces
• Drilling and tapping light components
• Assembly and gluing of hobby and model parts
• General holding tasks on a workbench in a home workshop

Key specifications

• Jaw capacity: 50 mm
• Mounting: bench/table mount
• Base type: rotating swivel base for adjustable clamping angles
• Operation: screw-driven jaw tightening
• Suitable material types: small metal, wood, plastics, and hobby materials

How to use

Secure the vise to a stable workbench using appropriate fasteners through the mounting holes in the base. Open the jaws by turning the handle counterclockwise, position the workpiece between the jaws, then tighten by turning the handle clockwise until the workpiece is held securely. Rotate the base to the required angle before or after clamping, and lock the base if a locking mechanism is provided to prevent unintended movement. Avoid over-tightening on delicate materials to prevent deformation or damage.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate clamping pressure for the material being held and, when working with soft or finished surfaces, consider using protective jaw covers or soft inserts to prevent marking. Inspect the vise and mounting fasteners regularly and keep the screw and swivel surfaces clean and lightly lubricated for smooth operation.
