Bench Vise JCB rotating cast iron with anvil 4" 100 mm

Bench Vise JCB rotating cast iron with anvil 4" 100 mm is a workshop clamping tool designed for holding workpieces securely during metalworking, woodworking and general repair tasks. The body is produced from spheroidal graphite (S.G.) cast iron for improved rigidity and wear resistance. A 4" (100 mm) jaw width provides a stable contact surface while the integrated anvil and rotating base increase versatility and positioning options without the need to release the clamped item.

Advantages

The rotating cast iron construction combines strength and dimensional stability, reducing deformation under load and extending service life. The rotating base enables quick repositioning of the workpiece, saving time and maintaining the clamping force. The integrated anvil offers a flat striking surface for light hammering and shaping operations, and the 4" jaw width balances clamping area and accessibility for typical workshop tasks.

Suitable for

• Metal filing, drilling, cutting and grinding operations
• Woodworking, gluing and planing tasks requiring secure holding
• General maintenance, assembly and DIY workshop use

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 4" (100 mm)
• Material: spheroidal graphite (S.G.) cast iron body
• Feature: integrated anvil surface
• Function: rotating base for 360° positioning
• Intended use: bench-mounted clamping tool for workshop tasks

How to use

Mount the vise securely to a stable workbench using appropriate fasteners for the bench material and expected loads. Open the jaws sufficiently to place the workpiece between them, then operate the lead screw to close the jaws until the workpiece is held firmly but without excessive force that could damage delicate materials. To change orientation, unlock the rotating base, rotate to the required angle and relock before continuing work. Use the anvil surface for light hammering and shaping; avoid heavy blows that could damage the vise or bench.

Usage recommendations

Regularly clean the lead screw and sliding surfaces and apply a light protective lubricant to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation. Inspect jaws and mounting fasteners periodically and tighten or replace them as needed. Use appropriate jaw pads when clamping soft or finished surfaces to avoid marring.
