GEKO bench vise model G01040 is a compact hobby and modeling vise with a 60 mm jaw width designed for holding small workpieces during filing, gluing, drilling and light assembly. The metal body and threaded screw mechanism provide a stable, hands-free clamping solution that helps maintain precision when working on miniature components and delicate tasks in a home workshop or hobby bench.

Advantages

The vise features a robust metal construction and a simple screw clamp that delivers consistent pressure and secure grip on small parts. Its 60 mm jaw width balances compact footprint with adequate clamping area for typical model-making components. The straightforward design makes it easy to position and tighten workpieces for accurate operations while occupying minimal bench space.

Suitable for

• Model making and scale modelling
• Hobby crafting and small repairs
• Precision filing and sanding of small parts
• Gluing and assembly of miniature components
• Light drilling and tapping of small workpieces

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 60 mm
• Construction material: metal body
• Clamping mechanism: threaded screw
• Intended use: hobby, modeling, light workshop tasks
• Mounting: bench-mounted (compact design for small benches)

How to use

Place the vise on a sturdy bench or work surface and secure it according to the bench-mounting method available on your bench. Open the jaws by turning the handle counterclockwise, insert the workpiece between the jaws, then tighten by turning the handle clockwise until the workpiece is held firmly but without over-tightening. Use steady, moderate force to avoid deforming delicate parts. For drilling or filing, ensure the part is oriented and supported to prevent slipping or movement during the operation.

Usage recommendations

Use soft jaw covers or thin protective inserts when clamping painted, plated or finely detailed surfaces to prevent marring. Regularly clean the screw thread and lightly lubricate it to maintain smooth operation. For heavier tasks or larger workpieces, choose a larger vise designed for heavier loads.
