Machine vice Proxxon FMZ — clamp opening 6 cm, green/yellow

Proxxon FMZ machine vice — clamp opening 6 cm, green/yellow is a compact metal vice designed for secure workholding on drill presses, milling machines and small machine tools. The vise offers a maximum clamping width of 70 mm and 75 mm jaws fitted with protective covers for handling delicate workpieces. With a total weight of 1.6 kg and a ball-and-socket joint that allows rotation in all directions, the Proxxon FMZ provides stable fixing and repeatable positioning for precision hobby or light industrial tasks.

Advantages

The vice clamps to workbenches and tables up to 60 mm thick and can alternatively be fixed to the work surface using two standard screws. Its ball-and-socket mechanism enables omnidirectional rotation, including downward orientations, which increases setup flexibility on drill presses and milling machines. Protective jaw covers reduce marking on soft materials, while the compact footprint and moderate weight simplify handling and relocation.

Suitable for

• Clamping small workpieces for drilling operations on drill presses
• Light milling and shaping tasks on small milling machines
• Precision hobby projects such as model making and electronics assembly
• Repeatable positioning for inspection and light assembly work

Key specifications

• Maximum clamping width: 70 mm
• Jaw width: 75 mm (with protective covers)
• Mounting to bench/table: clamps to surfaces up to 60 mm thick; alternative attachment with two standard screws
• Rotation: ball-and-socket joint allowing rotation in all directions (including downwards)
• Weight: 1.6 kg
• Finish/colors: Proxxon green and yellow

How to use

Position the vice on the drill press or milling machine table and secure it by tightening the clamping mechanism to a bench or table edge up to 60 mm thick, or fasten it using two standard screws through the mounting holes for a permanent installation. Adjust the ball-and-socket joint to orient the jaws to the required angle, then open the jaws to fit the workpiece and close until the workpiece is held firmly against the abutments. Use the protective jaw covers when clamping softer materials to avoid surface damage. Verify alignment and tightness before starting machining operations.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, check that the vice is firmly secured to the machine table and that the ball-and-socket joint is tightened after positioning. Use the protective jaw covers for delicate materials and avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to small or thin workpieces.
