Bench vise GEKO G01029 cross-slide 100 mm jaw width

GEKO G01029 is a cross-slide bench vise with a 100 mm jaw width, designed to hold workpieces firmly during metalworking, woodworking and general workshop tasks. The cross-slide mechanism allows movement along two perpendicular axes for precise positioning without repositioning the workpiece. The vise body and jaws are built for stability and repeatable clamping, making it suitable for drilling, filing, grinding and assembly operations in hobbyist and professional workshops.

Advantages

The cross-slide construction provides controlled X–Y adjustment for accurate alignment, reducing the need to unclamp and reclamp parts. Hardened steel jaws ensure a secure grip and resist wear during repeated use. A robust lead screw and a stable base deliver steady clamping force and minimize flex under load. Compact dimensions and a 100 mm jaw width make the vise versatile for a wide range of small to medium workpieces.

Suitable for

• Precision drilling and tapping where fine position adjustments are required
• Filing, grinding and shaping small metal or wooden parts
• Assembly and fitting tasks in home workshops and light industrial environments
• Hobby projects such as model making and small repairs

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 100 mm
• Cross-slide movement: two-axis adjustable table for lateral and fore-aft positioning
• Material: durable metal body and hardened clamping surfaces
• Clamping mechanism: lead screw with handle for controlled tightening
• Mounting: base suitable for bench mounting with through-holes for fasteners

How to use

Secure the vise base to a stable bench or work surface using appropriate fasteners through the mounting holes. Open the jaws by turning the handle counterclockwise, place the workpiece between the jaws, then tighten the handle clockwise until the part is held firmly without deformation. Use the cross-slide controls to move the clamped workpiece along the X and Y axes to the desired position for machining. After completing the operation, loosen the handle and remove the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

For safe and accurate results, ensure the workpiece is evenly supported and avoid over-tightening to prevent surface damage. Regularly clean and lubricate the lead screw and sliding surfaces to maintain smooth cross-slide movement and prolong service life. Use suitable jaw protectors or soft inserts when clamping delicate materials.
