M318.344 Vice with Quick Adjustment — 100 mm Jaws, Prism-Ground Faces (Metav IndustryLine)

A vice with quick adjustment and 100 mm jaws for reliable clamping of round and prismatic workpieces, equipped with horizontally and vertically ground prisms for secure seating.

• 100 mm jaw width for broad contact
• Quick-adjustment mechanism for fast setup
• Prism-ground faces for round components

Precision that keeps production predictable

The vice delivers measurable repeatability through a specified accuracy of 0.005 mm, which translates into fewer adjustments and lower scrap rates during batch work. The listed perpendicularity of 0.01 mm ensures faces remain square under load, supporting accurate fixturing and consistent reference points for downstream machining or inspection. Such tolerances make this clamping device suitable for toolrooms and precision workshops where part-to-part consistency reduces setup time and rework.

Faster clamping, less downtime

A dedicated quick-adjustment mechanism reduces the time required to position stock in the jaws, speeding up cycle times on repetitive tasks. Combined with 100 mm jaws and a jaw height of 45 mm, the design balances bite and accessibility, enabling both firm grip and straightforward tool access for machining or marking operations. The horizontally and vertically prism-ground faces provide a stable seating for shafts and round bars, removing the need for additional supports when clamping cylindrical workpieces.

Stable construction for everyday use

With a mass of 9.5 kg, a total length of 246 mm and a clamping span of 125 mm, the vice offers the inertia and footprint needed to resist movement during machining without excessive bulk. These dimensions yield a practical compromise between portability and stability, so set-up changes remain quick while the tool retains secure holding under moderate cutting forces. The overall layout is optimised to support routine workshop tasks and medium-duty machining operations.

Practical benefits in the workflow

Employing a vice with prism-ground faces eliminates extra fixtures for many turning and milling preps, reducing handling steps and shortening the overall process chain. The rapid-close feature accelerates throughput on small batches and short runs, while the precision figures give quality assurance teams objective data for process control. Where traceable measurement or repeatable datum alignment is required, this clamping solution integrates neatly with inspection routines and jigs.

FAQ

What materials and part shapes suit this vice best?
The M318.344 vice is designed for both round and prismatic components; the horizontally and vertically prism-ground faces make it particularly well suited to shafts, bars and similar profiles that require secure seating during machining.

How does the quick-adjustment function improve workflow?
The quick-adjustment mechanism shortens the distance the lead screw must travel before engagement, allowing faster location and clamping of workpieces and thereby reducing set-up time on repeated operations.

Can this vice maintain precise references for inspection work?
Yes — with an accuracy of 0.005 mm and perpendicularity of 0.01 mm, the vice provides stable reference faces that support repeatable fixturing and consistent inspection results.

Is the vice heavy enough to resist movement during machining?
The vice's 9.5 kg mass and compact footprint (length 246 mm) offer a stable base for medium-duty machining tasks, balancing portability and vibration resistance for typical workshop use.

Does the M318.344 include specialised seating for cylindrical parts?
The integrated prism-ground faces horizontally and vertically are specifically intended to seat cylindrical parts securely, reducing the need for additional supports.
