VW-3 Drilling and milling vice — 3-stage adjustable, 800 kgf clamping force (Vertex)

The VW-3 is a three-stage adjustable drilling and milling vice engineered for secure, repeatable clamping in metalworking and toolroom applications.

• 3-stage adjustable positioning
• 800 kgf clamping force for secure hold
• 0–85 mm jaw opening for versatile workpieces
• High repeatability with 0.01 mm accuracy

Secure clamping for repeatable precision

The vice delivers a high clamping force that stabilises workpieces during both drilling and milling, reducing chatter and improving hole quality. The specified 0.01 mm repeatability supports tight tolerances common in toolmaking and precision engineering. By converting mechanical input into a consistently firm grip, the unit reduces rework and supports predictable part quality, which is critical when multiple setups must match within micrometric margins.

Save time with quick, adaptable setups

The three-stage adjustable design enables rapid changes of clamp height and orientation, shortening setup cycles on the machine table. The device’s mass (16.7 kg) contributes to vibration damping, which complements the mechanical design to keep cutting forces stable. For production environments where setup time directly affects throughput, the vice’s adaptability and robust construction deliver a clear efficiency advantage without complex adjustment procedures.

Designed for workshop reliability and broad compatibility

Constructed for mechanical operation, the vice is suitable for conventional and CNC-assisted drilling and light milling tasks where dependable, repeatable clamping is required. The broad 0–85 mm jaw opening accommodates a wide range of blanks and fixtures; combined with the vice’s repeatability, this makes it suitable for batch work and small-series production. The simple, service-friendly mechanical design minimises maintenance effort while providing the stability expected in professional workshops.
