Basetech 1553063 Vice — Jaw Width 70 mm, Max. Clamping Range 70 mm

Bench vise Basetech 1553063 is a compact clamping tool with a 70 mm jaw width and a maximum clamping width of 70 mm, intended to hold small to medium workpieces securely during manual operations. The vise is designed for light workshop tasks such as cutting, filing, drilling and assembly, offering a stable and repeatable grip for hobbyists and home workshops where space and ease of use are important.

Advantages

The vise provides firm holding power within a compact footprint, allowing precise and controlled work on small parts. Its fixed jaw width and simple screw mechanism make it easy to operate and maintain. The tool’s construction offers resistance to lateral movement and ensures consistent clamping pressure for repeating tasks. The design emphasizes practicality and space efficiency for bench-mounted use in limited work areas.

Suitable for

• Securing small metal or wooden components for filing and sanding
• Holding parts during drilling or tapping operations
• Supporting assembly and glue-up of compact pieces
• Hobby and DIY projects in home or small workshop environments

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 70 mm
• Maximum clamping width: 70 mm
• Type: bench-mounted vise for light-duty tasks
• Intended use: cutting, filing, drilling, assembly
• Suitable for small to medium-sized workpieces

How to use

Mount the bench vise securely to a stable workbench using appropriate fasteners for the bench material. Place the workpiece between the jaws and turn the handle to tighten the screw mechanism until the part is held firmly without deformation. Perform the required operation—cutting, filing, drilling or assembly—keeping hands and tools clear of the jaws. After work, release the screw slightly to remove the workpiece and clean any debris from the jaw faces and screw thread to ensure smooth operation.

Recommendations

For safe and effective use, select the correct jaw orientation and avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to delicate parts. Use protective jaw covers when clamping finished or soft materials to avoid marking. Regularly check and clean the screw thread and jaw surfaces; lubricate the screw periodically with a light machine oil to maintain smooth movement. Ensure the vise is mounted on a stable bench and numbered or marked positions are used when repeatable placement is required.
