M318.334 bench vice with lead screw – prismatic jaws, 100 mm jaw width (Metav IndustryLine)

M318.334 is a heavy‑duty bench vice designed for secure clamping of prismatic and cylindrical parts in workshop and toolroom environments

• 100 mm jaws with ground prisms
• Lead screw operation for controlled clamping
• Repeatable squareness to 0.01 mm
• High positional accuracy of 0.005 mm

Precision clamping engineered for prismatic parts

The vice is built around 100 mm jaws that feature horizontally and vertically ground prisms, providing secure seating for shafts and round components without additional fixtures. This prismatic contact reduces lateral movement during machining or measuring and helps maintain consistent alignment. The integrated lead screw enables controlled, backlash‑resistant clamping so that fixtures and workpieces are held steadily during milling, drilling or inspection operations. The design therefore supports efficient set‑ups and reduces rework caused by slippage.

Consistent alignment and measurable accuracy for production use

Accuracy figures of 0.005 mm repeatability and 0.01 mm right‑angle squareness reflect the vice’s suitability for demanding workshop tasks and quality control stations. These values are relevant when a fixed datum and repeatable reference are required for inspection or for sequential machining steps. Measured performance provides a rational basis for process decisions: fewer rejects, quicker set‑ups and more predictable results in batch production. The vice is thus an investment in process reliability rather than a temporary tool.

Durable handling and workshop ergonomics

With a mass of 15 kg and a compact length of 260 mm, the clamping device balances stability with manageable bench mounting. The lead screw gives fine tactile control when clamping delicate parts, while the prismatic jaw faces eliminate the need for additional V‑blocks in many assemblies. The construction supports repeated cycles and reduces operator fatigue during routine clamping tasks. Maintenance is straightforward: periodic lubrication of the screw and a quick check of jaw condition keep the vice in service for years.

Where this vice brings the greatest benefit

The vice excels in applications that demand accurate positioning of shafts, pins and other prismatic geometries — for example inspection fixtures, small‑batch machining and set‑up benches. Its prismatic jaw faces simplify workflows that would otherwise require extra locating aids, while the measurable squareness and repeatability make the vice a dependable component in process chains where traceability and reproducibility matter. The unit’s compact footprint helps keep valuable bench space available for adjacent tooling.
