Modeling Vice MEGA 40 mm 25340 — small bench vise for model making and hobby work

MEGA 40 mm modeling vice (model 25340) is a compact bench vise designed for precise holding of small parts during modelling, crafting and light workshop tasks. The vise has a fixed base and a threaded screw mechanism that enables controlled jaw adjustment. Serrated jaws provide improved grip on workpieces made of plastic, wood and soft metals, making it suitable for delicate assembly, cutting, filing and gluing operations in hobby and repair projects.

Advantages

The vise offers a small footprint and low weight while delivering stable clamping for small components. Its threaded screw provides smooth, incremental adjustment, and the serrated jaw surfaces help prevent slippage without damaging softer materials when pressure is controlled. The fixed base ensures rigidity during precise operations and reduces unwanted movement when working on model parts or small assemblies.

Suitable for

• Model making and scale modelling assembly
• Hobby crafting, gluing and detailing
• Light drilling, filing and cutting of small parts
• Repair and adjustment of plastic, wood and soft-metal components

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 40 mm
• Clamping mechanism: threaded screw
• Jaw type: serrated gripping surfaces
• Base type: fixed bench base
• Typical materials held: plastic, wood, soft metals
• Intended use: modelling, hobby and light workshop tasks

How to use

Place the vise on a stable workbench and secure the base if additional stability is required. Rotate the handle to open the jaws, position the workpiece between the serrated jaws, and then tighten the screw until the part is held firmly but without excessive force that could deform the material. For repositioning, loosen the screw, adjust the part and retighten. Use appropriate clamping pressure depending on the material — lower pressure for soft plastics and wood, higher for thin soft-metal pieces.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the serrated jaws before clamping delicate finishes; protect visible surfaces with thin soft padding if needed to avoid marking. Regularly clean the screw thread and apply light lubricant to maintain smooth operation. Do not use the vise for heavy industrial loads or with hardened steel workpieces.
