Bench vise MODECO MN-35-215 — swivel mechanic vise, 125 mm jaw width

Bench vise MODECO MN-35-215 is a swivel mechanic vise with a 125 mm jaw width, designed to secure workpieces during metalworking and general workshop tasks. The rotating base allows precise orientation of the clamped part, while the solid jaw faces and screw mechanism provide secure holding for filing, drilling, cutting and assembly operations. The vise is intended for use in hobbyist and professional environments where stable clamping and adjustable positioning are required.

Advantages

The swivel base enables 360° positioning control with indexed stops for common angles, improving access to the workpiece without reclamping. Hardened jaw faces ensure durable contact surfaces that resist wear during repeated use. A robust screw and nut mechanism delivers reliable clamping force with smooth operation. Compact footprint and straightforward mounting holes allow installation on benches or tables in small workshops or professional workstations.

Suitable for

• Metal filing and deburring
• Drilling and tapping of small to medium components
• Cutting and grinding operations with fixed workpiece
• Assembly, gluing and fitting tasks requiring stable clamping

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 125 mm
• Swivel base: rotating with indexed positions
• Material: cast body with hardened steel jaw faces
• Mounting: base with bolt holes for bench/table attachment
• Clamping mechanism: lead screw with sliding guide
• Intended use: mechanic / metalworker applications

How to use

Secure the vise to a stable workbench using appropriate bolts through the mounting holes. Open the jaws by turning the handle counterclockwise, place the workpiece between the jaw faces and tighten the screw until the part is held firmly but without excessive force that could damage the workpiece. Rotate the swivel base to the required orientation and lock it in position before performing operations. Use soft jaw inserts or protective pads for delicate materials to prevent surface damage.

Usage recommendations

Regularly clean chips and debris from the screw and guide areas and apply light machine oil to the lead screw to maintain smooth movement. Inspect jaw faces for wear and replace or reface hardened inserts if gripping performance declines. When clamping brittle or finished-surface parts, use protective pads and avoid over-tightening.
