Bench Vise 100 mm rotating jaws, cast iron, model 23026 by No name

Bench Vise 100 mm rotating jaws, cast iron, model 23026 by No name is a compact workshop vise with a 100 mm jaw width designed for securing workpieces during metalworking, woodworking and general repair tasks. The vise combines a robust cast iron body with a swivel base and conventional fixed and movable jaws to provide stable clamping and flexible positioning on a workbench. It is intended for everyday workshop use where steady holding and repeated adjustments are required.

Advantages

The cast iron construction delivers good rigidity and vibration damping for steady clamping. The 100 mm jaw width offers practical capacity for a wide range of small to medium workpieces, while the rotating (swivel) base enables quick orientation without unclamping the part. Fixed and movable jaws produce a reliable grip and the simple screw mechanism allows controlled tightening. The compact footprint makes the vise suitable for benches with limited space.

Suitable for

• Holding metal parts for filing, drilling and grinding
• Securing wooden pieces for sawing, planing and sanding
• General assembly, gluing and small repairs
• Hobbyist and home workshop tasks

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 100 mm
• Base: swivel/rotating for angular positioning
• Body material: cast iron for stability
• Jaw type: fixed and movable clamping jaws
• Operation: manual lead-screw tightening
• Mounting: bench-mountable with bolt holes in the base

How to use

Mount the vise to a stable workbench using appropriate bolts through the base holes, ensuring the swivel base is secured or free to rotate depending on your intended use. Open the jaws by turning the handle counterclockwise, position the workpiece between the jaws, then tighten by turning the handle clockwise until the workpiece is held firmly. Rotate the base to the desired orientation when needed, then lock the base if the vise design provides a locking mechanism. Use protective jaw covers or soft jaws when clamping delicate materials to avoid surface damage.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the vise periodically for wear on the screw and jaw faces, keep moving parts clean and lightly lubricated, and avoid overtightening to prevent damage to both the vise and the workpiece. For heavy-duty or precision machining, verify that the vise meets your specific clamping force and alignment requirements before use.
