M318.342 Bench vise — 50 mm jaws, quick-adjustment, prism grooves

The M318.342 is a compact prism bench vise designed for precise clamping of small and cylindrical components in workshop and toolroom environments.

• Quick-adjustment mechanism for fast positioning
• 50 mm hardened jaws with horizontal and vertical prisms
• 70 mm clamping span for compact components
• Precise squareness 0.01 mm, repeatable accuracy

Faster setup and uninterrupted workflow

The integrated quick-adjustment (Schnellverstellung) reduces the time spent moving the sliding jaw across short distances, enabling rapid repositioning without exhaustive screw turns. This accelerates repetitive tasks and shortens cycle times, which is particularly valuable in small-batch production and maintenance work. With a compact overall length, the vice delivers speed without compromising rigidity, so changeovers are both efficient and dependable.

Secure support for cylindrical and irregular parts

Ground prisms in both horizontal and vertical orientations create reliable seating for round or odd-shaped workpieces. These prism grooves stabilise shafts, rods and pins during machining or inspection, preventing rotation and improving contact consistency. The clamping span of 70 mm and the 50 mm jaw width offer a good balance between reach and contact area for small components, giving reproducible results when measuring, filing or light milling.

Precision that supports accurate measuring and machining

Designed with a squareness of 0.01 mm and an indicated accuracy reference of 0.005, the vise is tailored for precision tasks where alignment matters. The robust jaw faces and firm clamping behaviour reduce play and measurement scatter, supporting quality control routines and fine mechanical work. This level of control makes the tool a practical partner for workshop inspection benches and assembly jigs where repeatable geometry is essential.

Compact build, workshop-friendly handling

Weighing approximately 1.6 kg and with a total length of 140 mm, the vice is small enough for mobile benches and tight workstations while retaining the stiffness needed for everyday use. The combination of modest weight and solid construction makes handling straightforward, and the compact footprint allows placement close to measurement equipment or machine tools to streamline workflows and improve ergonomics.

FAQ

How does the quick-adjustment mechanism improve workflow?
The quick-adjustment reduces the number of screw turns required to approach the workpiece, so the M318.342 bench vise enables faster repositioning and shorter setup times during repetitive clamping tasks.

Are cylindrical parts securely held by this vise?
Yes, the prism grooves—ground horizontally and vertically—provide stable seating for shafts, rods and other round components, preventing rotation and improving clamping stability.

Is the squareness sufficient for light inspection tasks?
With a declared squareness of 0.01 mm and an indicated accuracy reference of 0.005, the vice delivers the repeatability and alignment needed for workshop inspection and fine mechanical operations.
