Bench vise Dedra 1298 — bench-mounted metal vise, single piece

Dedra 1298 bench vise is a bench-mounted metal vise supplied as a single unit. Designed to hold workpieces firmly during metalworking, woodworking and general repair tasks, this compact bench-mounted vise offers a stable clamping point for sawing, filing, drilling and assembly operations. The one-piece construction provides consistent alignment of the jaws and reduces play during repeated use, helping maintain precision and safety on the workbench.

Advantages

The single-piece metal body ensures rigidity and reduces the number of potential failure points. Hardened contact surfaces on the jaws preserve grip and reduce wear when clamping metal or wooden parts. The compact footprint makes it suitable for small and medium-sized workbenches while providing a reliable hold for common workshop tasks. Simple mounting to a bench provides a secure anchor and quick setup for routine jobs.

Suitable for

• Holding small to medium metal workpieces for cutting, filing and drilling
• Securing wooden parts during sawing, sanding and assembly
• General repair and maintenance tasks where a fixed clamping point is needed
• Hobbyist and light professional workshop use

Key specifications

• Mount type: bench-mounted clamping vise suitable for bolting to a workbench
• Construction: single-piece metal body for increased rigidity
• Jaw surfaces: hardened or reinforced contact faces for improved grip and wear resistance
• Clamping capacity: suitable for small to medium workpieces (suitable jaw opening range for common workshop tasks)
• Intended use: metalworking, woodworking and general repair applications
• Finish: industrial metal finish designed for workshop durability

How to use

Secure the vise to a stable workbench using appropriate fasteners through the mounting holes. Position the workpiece between the jaws and turn the handle or screw to close the jaws until the workpiece is held firmly but without over-tightening that could damage delicate materials. For metalworking, ensure jaws contact the workpiece on suitable surfaces and use soft-jaw covers when clamping finished or fragile parts. Check alignment and tightness before beginning cutting, filing or drilling operations to maintain accuracy and safety.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the vise for wear on jaws and screw mechanism; lubricate moving parts periodically and replace jaw covers when worn. Use appropriate personal protective equipment during operations, and avoid exceeding the intended clamping capacity to prevent damage to the vise or the workpiece.
