DV-85 Drill Vice — Compact 0–85 mm clamping range, robust 3.5 kg construction (Vertex)

The DV-85 is a compact drill vice engineered for secure clamping on drill presses and bench-mounted operations, offering stable positioning for routine workshop drilling and light fabrication tasks.

• 0–85 mm clamping capacity
• Compact footprint: 167 x 287 x 56 mm
• Sturdy 3.5 kg mass for stability
• Suitable for drill-press and bench use

Improve drilling accuracy with stable clamping

A stable clamping solution reduces wobble and misalignment during drilling, which directly improves hole quality and repeatability. The 0–85 mm jaw span enables a broad range of workpiece sizes to be held without frequent repositioning. By combining a robust 3.5 kg body with a precise jaw travel, the vice minimises vibration and supports consistent centreline retention. This reliability translates into fewer scrapped parts and less time spent on corrective machining, making the device a pragmatic choice for production-support and maintenance workshops.

Save space without sacrificing functionality

Workshops with limited bench space benefit from the compact dimensions of this vice (167 x 287 x 56 mm), which provide a small footprint while maintaining full clamping capability. The vice is suitable for both drill-press tables and general bench mounting where a stable hold is required. Its low profile helps to keep the working envelope clear, allowing easier access with drill chucks and depth stops. The compact layout supports efficient workflow organisation and faster set-ups between operations.

Designed for consistent, user-friendly operation

The mechanical design focuses on straightforward clamping action and dependable holding force. The vice’s mass contributes to stability under load, helping to keep cut forces in check during through-drilling and reaming tasks. Where precise positioning matters, the vice complements common workshop fixturing by offering predictable behaviour under repeated cycles. Where technical understanding is limited, the basic mechanics are simple to explain: wider jaw travel equals greater versatility, and a heavier body generally improves steadiness under cutting forces.

Practical considerations and material compatibility

The vice is intended primarily for conventional drilling and light fabrication tasks in steel, aluminium and other common workshop materials. The wide jaw aperture supports a variety of shapes and sizes, reducing the need for frequent tool changes or auxiliary clamps. For users integrating the vice into a production environment, the straightforward geometry and compact size make it a good option for jigs, small runs and repair work. When higher clamping forces or specialised jaws are required, the vice can be partnered with purpose-made soft jaws or parallels to protect delicate surfaces.
