JCB Cast Iron Bench Vise with Anvil 4" (100 mm) – JCB-6540204

JCB Cast Iron Bench Vise with Anvil 4" (100 mm) is a bench-mounted vise constructed from S.G. cast iron, offering a 100 mm jaw width and an integrated anvil surface. The vise is engineered for screw-driven clamping to secure metal and wood workpieces during cutting, filing, drilling and assembly tasks. Its cast-iron construction and simple mechanism provide a reliable grip and stable positioning for routine workshop and hobby use.

Advantages

The cast iron body ensures rigidity and resistance to deformation under repeated clamping cycles. The 100 mm jaw width gives sufficient contact area for typical bench tasks while the integrated anvil allows light hammering and shaping operations without moving the workpiece. A screw-driven mechanism provides straightforward, precise clamping force control and the overall design supports durable, low-maintenance operation in a range of bench applications.

Suitable for

• Clamping metal and wooden workpieces for cutting and filing
• Drilling and tapping operations requiring stable positioning
• Small assembly and repair tasks in workshops and hobby spaces
• Light hammering or shaping using the integrated anvil

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 100 mm (4")
• Material: S.G. (spheroidal graphite) cast iron body
• Operation: screw-driven clamping
• Integrated anvil surface for light hammering
• Mounting: bench-mounted design for secure installation

How to use

Securely fasten the vise to a sturdy workbench using appropriate fasteners through the base mounting holes. Open the jaws by turning the handle counterclockwise, position the workpiece between the jaws, then tighten the screw handle clockwise until the workpiece is held firmly. Use the anvil surface for light hammering or shaping while the workpiece remains clamped. Avoid over-tightening on fragile materials; use protective jaw covers when clamping finished or delicate surfaces to prevent marring.

Usage recommendations

Perform regular inspections of the screw mechanism and sliding surfaces, apply light lubrication to the screw and guide surfaces to maintain smooth operation, and clean swarf and debris from the jaws and anvil after use. For prolonged service life, avoid exposing the vise to corrosive environments and store tools in a dry workshop area when not in use.
