Vertex Machine Vice VA-4 — Mechanical vice with 1500 kgf clamping force and 0–103 mm jaw opening
The Vertex Machine Vice VA-4 is a mechanical clamping device designed for general workshop and bench machining, delivering consistent workholding for milling, drilling and light grinding operations.
- 1500 kgf clamping force
- 0–103 mm jaw opening
- High repeatability ±0.01 mm
- Robust mechanical construction
Secure clamping power for uninterrupted machining
A strong, repeatable clamping action is essential to avoid part movement during cutting. The VA-4 delivers 1500 kgf of clamping force, which translates into reliable fixation for a wide range of components. This level of force reduces vibration and tool chatter, producing cleaner surfaces and extending cutter life. The mechanical drive is optimised for steady performance and low maintenance, making the vice a pragmatic choice where uptime matters.
Precision and repeatability that reduce set-up time
Repeatability of 0.01 mm provides a clear advantage for batch production and indexed operations. Accurate repositioning lowers the need for repeated measurement and adjustment between cycles. The vice’s jaw geometry and guided slide minimise lateral play, delivering consistent results part after part. For technicians who measure tolerances in hundredths of a millimetre, this workholding device supports predictable process capability and fewer rejected parts.
Durable construction for everyday workshop use
Designed for workshop environments, the VA-4 features a robust mechanical construction that withstands regular use. The compact footprint and solid mass contribute to stability on the machine table, while service access is simple for routine checks. The cast components and hardened contact surfaces ensure long-term wear resistance, maintaining clamping integrity under repeated loading and reducing lifecycle costs through lower maintenance needs.
Efficient footprint and practical handling for bench and machine
With overall dimensions of 351×211×126 mm and a mass of 20 kg, the vice balances stability with manoeuvrability. The 0–103 mm jaw opening covers a broad size range, allowing flexible part clamping without excessive fixture changes. Its form factor is suitable for both manual bench work and fixed installation on milling machines, helping to streamline the workflow and improve shop-floor efficiency. For bespoke set-ups, Metav’s team can advise on mounting and alignment options to match specific machines and fixtures.

FAQ
What materials can be securely clamped with this vice?
The Vertex VA-4 (machine vice) secures ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces commonly used in general machining; jaw condition and fixturing should be matched to the specific material and operation.
How is the accuracy specification interpreted for daily use?
The stated 0.01 repeatability describes the vice’s ability to return to the same clamping position; in practice this helps maintain consistent part datum between operations and reduces setup adjustments.
Is the vice suitable for mounting on a milling table?
Yes, the mechanical design and compact dimensions of the VA-4 allow straightforward mounting on milling tables and small machining centres where rigid workholding is required.
What maintenance does the mechanical vice require?
Routine cleaning of chips, light lubrication of the sliding surfaces and periodic inspection of the jaw faces will maintain performance; the VA-4’s design supports easy maintenance without special tools.
Can the jaw faces be replaced or customised?
Jaw inserts or soft jaws can be fitted to the vice for specific part profiles; consult Metav Werkzeuge for compatible jaw options and custom machining services.
