Bench Vise MODECO MN-35-106 150 mm fixed machinist vise

MODECO MN-35-106 150 mm fixed machinist vise is a bench-mounted clamping tool designed to hold workpieces securely during metalworking, woodworking and general assembly operations. With a 150 mm jaw width and fixed base, the vise provides steady support for filing, sawing, drilling and grinding tasks. The vise is suitable for installation on workshop benches and is intended for DIY, maintenance and light professional applications where a rigid, reliable clamp is required.

Advantages

The fixed design delivers high stability and repeatable positioning, reducing movement of the workpiece during machining. Hardened steel jaws and a robust body construction resist wear from regular use and provide even pressure across the clamped surface. A machined guide and screw mechanism ensure smooth opening and closing, while the 150 mm jaw width accommodates a wide range of component sizes. The vise’s simple mounting pattern allows secure attachment to standard workbenches.

Suitable for

• Clamping metal parts for filing, grinding and drilling
• Holding wooden pieces for sawing and shaping
• Assembly and repair work in home workshops and maintenance shops
• Light-duty professional machine shop tasks

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 150 mm
• Fixed base design for bench mounting
• Material: steel body with hardened jaws
• Threaded screw mechanism for controlled clamping
• Suitable for hand and light power tool operations

How to use

Mount the vise securely to a stable workbench using appropriate fasteners through the base holes. Open the jaws by turning the handle counterclockwise, position the workpiece between the jaws, and tighten by turning the handle clockwise until the part is held firmly. Ensure the workpiece is aligned and supported to avoid deformation when clamping. For drilling or grinding, verify the vise is bolted down and the workpiece is clear of cutting tool paths before starting the machine.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the screw and guide for debris and lubricate the threaded screw with light machine oil to maintain smooth operation. Avoid over-tightening on fragile materials; use protective jaw covers when clamping finished or delicate surfaces. Secure mounting and correct positioning of the workpiece enhance safety and prolong vise life.
