M318.344 Vice with quick adjustment — 100 mm jaws and ground prisms | Metav IndustryLine

The M318.344 vice with quick adjustment is a workshop-grade clamping vice designed for reliable, repeatable holding of shafts and cylindrical components in machine shops and toolrooms.

• Quick-adjustment for fast set-up
• 100 mm hardened clamping jaws
• Horizontal and vertical ground prisms
• Precision repeatability to 0.005 mm

Precision and repeatability for production use

Built for routine workshop tasks where consistent results matter, this vice delivers measurable benefits in throughput and quality control. The construction provides a rigid clamping envelope that minimises deformation under load, which contributes directly to repeatable clamping and fewer rejected parts. The declared accuracy 0.005 mm indicates the manufacturing tolerances and machining precision of the vice components; in practice this results in stable positioning for subsequent machining or inspection operations. For operations that rely on reproducible setups, the vice reduces rework and shortens cycle times by keeping the workpiece location constant between operations.

Fast set-up and secure seating for round workpieces

The integrated quick-adjustment mechanism allows rapid jaw advance to the workpiece, reducing non-productive time between clamping cycles. Combined with the horizontal and vertical ground prisms, the vice secures cylindrical and bar-shaped components more reliably than flat jaws alone, preventing rotation during axial or radial machining. The 100 mm jaws offer a broad contact surface while the compact overall length supports easy mounting on mill and drill tables. These features together make the vice particularly suitable for repetitive turning, drilling and grinding tasks where safe, centred holding of round parts is essential.

Robust design for everyday workshop demands

Designed to fit a standard machine-bench workflow, the vice balances mass and manoeuvrability: its 9.5 kg weight and 246 mm overall length provide stability without undue bulk for bench or fixture mounting. The clamping span of 125 mm accommodates a wide range of part sizes commonly encountered in maintenance and small-batch production. Precision-ground components such as the jaw faces and guides underpin the declared squareness of 0.01 mm, helping to preserve alignment over prolonged use. With this combination of durability, measured tolerances and rapid set-up, the vice supports higher utilisation of machine time and a more predictable production process.
