Machine Vise (also known as a machine tool vise or milling vise) is a common workholding device used on machine tools such as milling machines, drilling machines, and grinding machines to securely clamp workpieces during cutting operations.
Working Principle: Rotating the screw handle drives the movable jaw via a screw-nut mechanism, moving it along guide rails to clamp or release the workpiece.
Basic Construction: Consists of a fixed jaw, movable jaw, screw-and-nut mechanism, and jaw plates. The structure is compact and rigid. The fixed jaw body is mounted on a swivel base that can rotate 360°, with graduated scales for angular positioning.
Key Features:
1.Strong clamping force with simple operation 2.Optional swivel base for horizontal rotation 3.Versatile use across milling, drilling, and grinding operations 4.Replaceable hard or soft jaws to accommodate different workpieces
