Bench vise GEKO G01028 cross-slide 125 mm jaw width

GEKO G01028 is a cross-slide bench vise with a 125 mm jaw width designed to hold workpieces securely during metalworking, woodworking and assembly tasks. The vise combines a fixed mounting base with a cross-slide mechanism that enables precise lateral positioning of the movable jaw, while serrated steel jaws provide a reliable grip on flat and irregular surfaces. The tool is intended for mounting to a workbench and suits both DIY enthusiasts and professional workshop environments where stable clamping and accurate lateral adjustment are required.

Advantages

The cross-slide design allows for fine lateral adjustment independent of the main screw, improving alignment without repositioning the entire vise. Serrated jaws deliver strong frictional hold to reduce slippage when working with metal, wood or composite parts. A fixed base ensures stable mounting to a workbench for heavy-duty operations, and the 125 mm jaw width offers a balance between capacity and compact footprint. The construction uses durable materials and a screw-driven mechanism for predictable clamping force and long service life.

Suitable for

• Holding metal parts for filing, drilling and grinding
• Securing wooden components during sawing, sanding and assembly
• Precision lateral positioning of workpieces for light fabrication tasks
• General workshop and hobbyist clamping needs

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 125 mm
• Cross-slide mechanism for lateral adjustment
• Serrated steel jaws for enhanced grip
• Fixed base designed for bench mounting
• Screw-driven main clamping mechanism

How to use

Mount the vise securely to a stable workbench using appropriately sized fasteners through the base mounting holes. Place the workpiece between the jaws, turn the main screw handle to bring the movable jaw into contact, then tighten until the part is held firmly without causing deformation. Use the cross-slide control to make precise lateral adjustments as required for alignment; lock the slide if a locking mechanism is provided. For through-drilling or other operations, verify the workpiece is square and fully supported before applying cutting forces.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect and clean the screw thread and slide surfaces, lubricate moving parts with light machine oil to maintain smooth operation, and avoid overtightening on soft materials to prevent jaw damage. Use jaw protectors when clamping finished or delicate surfaces to reduce marking.
