Modeling Vice Dedra 12A107 — small bench vice for hobby and model making

Dedra 12A107 modeling vice is a compact bench vice designed for hobbyists and model makers. It provides stable clamping of small parts for cutting, filing, gluing and assembly operations. The vice is intended for precision tasks on materials such as wood, plastic and soft metals, and its screw mechanism allows controlled application of pressure to avoid damage to delicate components.

Advantages

The small footprint and lightweight construction make this vice easy to position on a workbench or table without requiring permanent mounting. Parallel jaws deliver even pressure across the clamped surface, and the screw drive offers gradual adjustment so you can set holding force precisely. The unit is suitable for repetitive small tasks and classroom use where compact, reliable clamping is needed.

Suitable for

• Model making and scale assembly
• Hobby woodworking and plastic modelling
• Small metalworking tasks with soft alloys
• Cutting, filing, sanding and gluing small parts
• School workshops and home hobby benches

Key specifications

• Compact bench-style vice for small parts
• Parallel clamping jaws for even pressure distribution
• Screw mechanism for controlled tightening
• Suitable for wood, plastic and soft metals
• Lightweight construction for easy placement

How to use

Place the vice on a stable work surface and, if possible, secure it with clamps or screws to prevent movement during use. Open the jaws by turning the handle counterclockwise, insert the workpiece between the jaws and tighten by turning the handle clockwise until the part is held firmly but without excessive force. For delicate materials, use protective soft jaw covers or thin layers of cloth to avoid surface marring. After work is completed, release the screw to remove the part and store the vice in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use the vice for precision hobby tasks where a compact clamping solution is required. Avoid over-tightening on hard metals; reserve this vice for softer materials and light-duty operations. Regularly clean the screw mechanism and apply light lubricant to maintain smooth adjustment.
