Jaw pads for bench vises Bison-Bial model 1250 (MPN 398210533200)

These jaw pads are replacement accessories designed for Bison-Bial bench vises, model 1250. They fit over the vise jaws to protect workpieces from marring and to improve grip when clamping metal, wood or plastic. The pads distribute clamping pressure more evenly and reduce surface damage during assembly, shaping or holding operations in workshop environments.

Advantages

The pads provide a softer contact surface than bare steel jaws, reducing the risk of scratches, dents and deformation on delicate parts. They enhance friction between the vise and the workpiece for more secure holding and can prolong the life of both the workpiece and the vise jaws by absorbing localized pressure. Installation is simple and the pads are intended to be durable under normal workshop use.

Suitable for

• Holding metal parts during filing, drilling or grinding
• Securing wood for sawing, sanding or planing
• Clamping plastic components for assembly or modification
• General workshop repairs and light fabrication tasks

Key specifications

• Compatible with Bison-Bial bench vise model 1250
• Protective jaw surface to prevent marring
• Improved grip to reduce slippage during clamping
• Designed to distribute clamping pressure evenly
• Suitable for metal, wood and plastic workpieces

How to use

Position the pads over the existing vise jaws, aligning any locating features or holes if present, and secure them according to the vise manufacturer’s recommended method. Close the vise gently at first to ensure correct alignment, then tighten to the required clamping force for the task. Check periodically that pads are seated correctly and replace them if they become excessively worn or damaged.

Usage recommendations

For best results, inspect the pads before each use and keep both pads and workpiece clean of debris and oil. Avoid using excessive clamping force on very soft or thin materials; use an intermediate protective layer if necessary to prevent deformation.
