What is a machine vice?
Stromist is a heavy vise made of metal. It is connected to the top of the workspace, unlike the woodworking vice, which is connected to the side. The Makinist vise is also called the Engineering Svěrák, Kovoworking bench or Fitter Vise and in British English is written "Machinist Vice". The use of the vice adds a greater degree of safety because the craftsman can work on the object without holding it.
The basic vise has a stationary jaw, a movable jaw and a screw for adjusting the movable jaw. The jaws are screwed to hold an object. Typical machine jaw is 3-8 inches wide (about 7-20 cm). For comparison, the vise of the wood is much wider, usually 7-10 inches (about 17-25 cm).
jaws from the vice can be lined with wood or plastic to prevent damage to the object. Some jaws have a rough lining to prevent slipping. Other jaws are designed to hold different shapes.
There are two main differences between Machinist VIZy and other Visis: Thick metal construction and holder. The Machinist vise is mounted with screws to the top of the workbench. Its construction of heavy metals gives it the ability to tolerate repeated, severe stress. Depending on the base, the machine vice may have multiple functions.
The advantage of a solid base is improved stability, but the rotary base is suitable when the machine vice is used for various projects. The rotary base can be rotated 360 degrees, allowing the object to be rotated in any direction. Some machinistic visis also have an angle rotation, so the object can be held diagonally instead of vertical.
Although it is commonly used to work with metal, the machine vice can also be used to stabilize many types of materials. It can be used in cutting, drilling, grinding or gluing. Variations in its foundations and jaws make it a very versatile instrument.
Machinist Visis noare to confuse with machine visitors. The page is mounted on the machine and is usually used in an industrial production environment. It often has a computer -controlled hydraulic or pneumatic system for its jaw. Machinist Vice is manually operated and is usually used in a private seminar.
