VA-8 Machine Vice by Vertex — 3,000 kgf clamping, 0–197 mm opening

The VA-8 Machine Vice is a mechanically operated vice for machining applications, delivering high clamping force and a wide jaw opening suited to heavy-duty workshop use.

• 3,000 kgf clamping force
• 0–197 mm jaw opening
• 80 kg mass for stability
• Mechanical operation for precise control

Heavy-duty clamping that reduces rework

The exceptionally high 3,000 kgf clamping force translates into secure fixation of large or irregular workpieces, lowering the risk of movement during machining and thus reducing rework rates. Mechanical clamping ensures a straightforward, repeatable locking action; the absence of complex hydraulics or electronics simplifies integration into production workflows. For fabrication environments where stability and uptime matter, the vice offers a direct, efficient solution that supports continuous operation and predictable cycle times.

Consistent positioning for precision components

Built to support precise machining, the vice provides an accuracy of 0.01 mm, which helps maintain repeatability across batches. Combined with its 80 kg mass, the unit dampens vibration and stabilises cutting conditions, contributing to better surface finishes and longer tool life. In plain terms, small positional deviations are minimised, so parts that require tight tolerances remain within specification more reliably. This capability is particularly valuable for medium-run production and toolroom work where consistent part quality is a priority.

Practical design for workshop integration

The wide 0–197 mm jaw opening extends the range of clamping situations that can be handled without auxiliary fixtures, enabling flexible set-ups on milling machines and machining centres. The mechanical operation delivers intuitive control and low-maintenance service routines, making the vice suited to busy workshops and schools of trade alike. Where adaptability is required, this vice reduces the need for frequent tool changes or complex fixturing, streamlining operations while maintaining solid, secure clamping for a broad spectrum of tasks.
