Bench vice Vorel 36039, iron construction, 12 kg weight, single pack

The Vorel 36039 bench vice is an iron clamping tool weighing 12 kg, designed for durable bench-mounted use in workshops. It secures workpieces for metalworking, woodworking and general repair tasks, providing a stable platform for cutting, filing, bending and assembly operations. Built with a heavy iron construction, the vice is intended for routine workshop duties where a reliable clamping device is required.

Advantages

The iron body offers high rigidity and resistance to deformation under load, while the 12 kg mass contributes to stability during operations that generate force or vibration. The bench-mount design allows secure attachment to work surfaces for continuous use. The vice provides uniform clamping force for consistent holding of parts during machining or finishing tasks.

Suitable for

• General metalworking tasks such as filing, cutting and bending
• Woodworking operations where firm, repeatable clamping is needed
• Assembly and repair work requiring stable fixation of components
• Hobbyist and home workshop projects with bench-mounted tools

Key specifications

• Material: cast iron construction for body and jaws
• Weight: approximately 12 kg for stable mounting
• Mounting: bench-mounted design with base suitable for bolting to a workbench
• Use cases: suitable for clamping, holding, bending, cutting and filing tasks

How to use

Mount the vice securely to a solid workbench using appropriate bolts through the base holes. Position workpieces between the jaws and tighten the screw handle until the workpiece is held firmly but without applying excessive force that could damage the material. For machining or filing, ensure the clamped piece is aligned and stable; use additional supports or soft jaws if needed to protect delicate surfaces. After completing work, release the screw handle and remove the workpiece, keeping the vice clean and lightly lubricated on the screw thread to maintain smooth operation.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when performing cutting, filing or grinding. Avoid clamping heated workpieces directly in the iron jaws without allowing them to cool, and use protective jaw covers when clamping finished or fragile surfaces to prevent marring.
