Bench Vise with Anvil JCB 10" (250 mm) Cast Iron

Bench Vise with Anvil JCB 10" (250 mm) Cast Iron is a heavy-duty workshop vise designed for secure clamping and stable holding of workpieces. The 250 mm jaw width provides broad contact for metalworking, woodworking and general repairs. Constructed from S.G. cast iron, the vise body offers high rigidity and damping to reduce vibration during cutting, filing and hammering. An integrated anvil surface allows controlled striking operations without needing a separate bench anvil.

Advantages

The cast-iron construction ensures long-term dimensional stability and resistance to deformation under load. Wide jaws distribute clamping force evenly to protect workpiece surfaces while providing strong grip. The integrated anvil saves workspace and simplifies tasks that require hammering or shaping. Overall design balances mass for stability with accessible screw operation for reliable tightening and release.

Suitable for

• Metalworking: filing, grinding, drilling and shaping small to medium parts
• Woodworking: holding boards and components for cutting, sanding and joining
• General workshop maintenance and repair tasks
• Hobby and DIY projects requiring stable clamping and occasional hammering

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 250 mm (10 inches)
• Body material: spheroidal graphite (S.G.) cast iron for enhanced strength and damping
• Integrated anvil surface for striking and shaping
• Fixed base suitable for bench mounting
• Heavy mass and compact footprint for stable operation in workshop environments

How to use

Securely mount the vise to a sturdy bench using appropriate fasteners through the base mounting points. Open the jaws by turning the lead screw, position the workpiece between the jaws and tighten until the workpiece is held firmly without excessive crush. Use the anvil surface for light to moderate hammering and shaping; avoid striking with excessive force that might damage the vise or bench. Keep the lead screw lightly lubricated and periodically clean jaw faces to maintain consistent gripping performance.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective use, choose jaw covers or soft pads when clamping delicate materials to prevent surface damage. Regularly inspect mounting bolts and the lead screw for wear; tighten or replace hardware as necessary. Store in a dry environment and apply corrosion protection to exposed metal surfaces if used in humid conditions.
