Workbench vice Topex 50 x 150 mm – bench-mounted metal carpenter's vice, jaw width 50 mm, jaw opening 150 mm

Topex workbench vice 50 x 150 mm is a bench-mounted metal carpenter's vice designed to hold workpieces securely during cutting, filing, drilling and assembly. The vice has a 50 mm jaw width and a maximum jaw opening of 150 mm, a robust cast construction that provides stable clamping, and mounting holes for fixing the vice to a workbench or assembly table. The design is intended for repeated use in workshop environments where reliable holding force and simple operation are required.

Advantages

The vice combines a compact jaw width with a wide opening range, enabling clamping of small and medium-sized workpieces. Solid metal construction ensures resistance to deformation under load and contributes to consistent alignment of the jaws. Mounting holes allow secure attachment to various bench surfaces, improving safety and reducing movement during machining. The straightforward screw mechanism provides predictable clamping force and easy adjustment.

Suitable for

• Woodworking tasks such as planing, sanding and joint assembly
• Metalworking operations including filing, grinding and light drilling
• General workshop tasks like gluing, fitting and holding parts for measurement
• Hobbyist projects and small-scale repairs where a bench-mounted vice is needed

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 50 mm
• Maximum jaw opening: 150 mm
• Material: metal cast body with steel screw mechanism
• Mounting: holes for bench attachment to ensure stable fixing
• Operation: manual screw clamp for controlled clamping force

How to use

Position the vice on a stable workbench and align the mounting holes with the bench surface, then fix with appropriate bolts or screws through the provided holes. Open the jaws by turning the handle counterclockwise, place the workpiece between the jaws and turn the handle clockwise until the workpiece is held securely. Use moderate, even pressure to avoid damaging delicate materials. After use, retract the screw slightly to relieve tension on the mechanism and keep the jaws clean of debris to maintain smooth operation.

Usage recommendations

For safe and durable operation, mount the vice on a solid bench using bolts rated for the bench material. Wear eye protection during cutting or grinding operations, and use jaw protectors or soft pads when clamping finished or fragile surfaces to prevent marring. Periodically clean the screw thread and apply light lubricant to preserve smooth movement and extend service life.
