Bench Vise AWTools AW Rotary Lockwork Vise Medium 8"/200 mm AW24219

The AWTools AW Rotary Lockwork Vise Medium 8"/200 mm AW24219 is a bench-mounted vise designed to secure workpieces during metalworking, woodworking and general workshop tasks. It provides a medium clamping capacity with a screw-handle tightening mechanism and a flat mounting base for stable attachment to workbenches. The rotary lockwork allows the jaw assembly to rotate and lock in different positions, enabling easier access to the workpiece without removing it from the vise.

Advantages

This medium-size rotary vise combines stable bench mounting with a screw-handle clamp for reliable holding force and precise adjustment. The rotary lockwork mechanism permits quick repositioning of the jaw assembly and secure locking at the required angle, improving workflow when working on complex or multi-sided components. A flat mounting base provides straightforward installation to a variety of workbench surfaces, and the 200 mm jaw width accommodates a wide range of standard tasks in metal and wood.

Suitable for

• Holding metal parts for drilling, filing and grinding
• Securing wooden components for sawing, planing and sanding
• General assembly, repair and maintenance operations
• Hobby and professional workshop projects requiring repositionable clamping

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 8" (200 mm)
• Mount type: bench-mounted with flat base
• Clamping mechanism: screw-handle tightening
• Feature: rotary lockwork for angle positioning
• Size: medium clamping capacity suitable for common workshop tasks
• Materials: durable metal construction for long-term use

How to use

Position the vise on a stable workbench and fasten it securely through the flat mounting base using appropriate bolts. Open the jaws by turning the screw handle counterclockwise, place the workpiece between the jaws and tighten the screw handle clockwise until the workpiece is firmly held. To change the orientation, unlock the rotary mechanism, rotate the jaw assembly to the desired angle and re-lock before continuing work. Ensure even clamping pressure and avoid overtightening delicate materials.

Usage recommendations

For safe and reliable operation, mount the vise on a rigid, vibration-free bench and use corrosion-resistant fasteners. Regularly clean metal chips and debris from the screw and rotary mechanism and apply light machine oil to moving parts to maintain smooth operation. Use appropriate jaw protection (soft jaws or pads) when clamping finished or delicate surfaces to prevent marking.
