Pipe vise Vorel 36570, model 36570, clamping capacity 0.5–2"

The Vorel 36570 pipe vise is a bench-mounted tool designed to securely hold pipes with a clamping capacity of 0.5–2" (half to two inches) during cutting, threading and assembly operations. It provides stable fixation for metal and plastic piping, allowing controlled rotation and accurate alignment when using hand tools or power tools. The vise is intended for workshop, maintenance and plumbing environments where reliable pipe holding is required.

Advantages

The vise features a compact footprint suitable for bench mounting and delivers consistent clamping pressure across the specified diameter range. Its construction ensures durable performance under repetitive use, while the clamping range of 0.5–2" accommodates common residential and light commercial pipe sizes. The design allows quick placement and release of pipes for efficient workflow.

Suitable for

• Cutting pipes with hacksaws or power saws
• Threading and rethreading pipe ends
• Assembling and tightening plumbing connections
• General metalworking and maintenance tasks involving cylindrical workpieces

Key specifications

• Clamping capacity: 0.5–2" (half to two inches)
• Mounting type: bench-mounted
• Intended materials: metal and plastic pipes
• Function: secure holding and controlled rotation of pipes

How to use

Secure the vise to a stable workbench using appropriate fasteners. Open the jaws, position the pipe within the clamping range, then tighten the clamp until the pipe is held firmly without deforming the material. Rotate or work on the pipe as required for cutting, threading or assembly. Release the clamp to remove the pipe or reposition for additional operations. Follow standard safety practices for the tools and materials in use.

Usage recommendations

Inspect pipes for burrs or deposits before clamping to avoid damage to the vise jaws. For soft or thin-walled pipes, use protective sleeves or padding between the jaws and the pipe to prevent marring. Regularly check and tighten the bench mounting fasteners and keep moving parts free of heavy dirt and corrosion to maintain reliable performance.
