Bench vice with quick adjustment, 50 mm jaws — Metav IndustryLine bench vice with prism jaws and fast feed

Bench vice with quick adjustment, 50 mm jaws designed for secure clamping of shafts and cylindrical workpieces; compact format for workshop and toolroom use

• Quick-adjust feed for fast positioning
• Hardened 50 mm jaws with prisms
• Compact 140 mm length for tight spaces
• High squareness 0.01 mm for accurate setup

Faster clamping for more efficient workflows

The quick-adjust feed shortens cycle times by permitting coarse jaw movement without turning the handle through its full travel, which increases throughput during repetitive clamping tasks. The quick-adjust mechanism is paired with a conventional lead screw for final, fine clamping, combining speed with controlled force. This arrangement reduces set-up time and lowers operator fatigue, making the vice particularly suitable for production jigs and small-batch machining where repetitive part changeover is common. The robust design ensures consistent clamping pressure across shifts, supporting predictable process performance.

Secure grip and precision for cylindrical components

A vice that incorporates horizontal and vertical ground prisms in the jaws simplifies the clamping of round bars and shafts by creating seating surfaces that locate work precisely without additional fixtures. The 50 mm jaw width and 25 mm jaw height deliver a stable contact area for small to medium parts, while the specified squareness 0.01 mm and accuracy 0.005 mm indicate the manufacturing tolerances that underpin repeatable measurements and setups. For tasks such as centre drilling, turning setups on small fixtures or inspection preparation, the prism feature reduces the need for auxiliary supports and speeds alignment.

Compact, robust design for everyday workshop demands

With an overall length of 140 mm, a span of 70 mm and a manageable weight of 1.6 kg, this vice balances portability and stiffness for bench or fixture mounting. The relatively light mass aids repositioning on mobile benches and in toolrooms, while hardened jaw faces provide wear resistance in regular use. The construction suits a variety of clamping roles where space is limited but accuracy remains essential. Delivered as a dedicated clamping tool from the Metav IndustryLine, the product complements a broader offering geared towards pragmatic, repeatable precision at the workshop level.
