Take advantage of the VC20 grinding vice’s compact footprint and broad jaw range to speed up set-up times and secure consistent surface finishes; its mass helps damp vibrations for improved repeatability. Order the VC20 directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants if needed.

VC20 Grinding Vice (Compact, 0–85 mm Jaw Opening) by Vertex

A VC20 grinding vice designed for precision clamping in surface grinding and small machining set-ups.

• Compact 48 x 150 x 53 mm footprint
• 0–85 mm adjustable jaw opening
• Stable 1.6 kg mass for vibration damping
• Suitable for precision grinding set-ups

Secure clamping for consistently fine surfaces

The VC20 delivers stable clamping across a wide working range: with a jaw opening of 0–85 mm and a substantial mass of 1.6 kg, the vice reduces micro-movements that can spoil a finish during grinding. The heavier construction contributes to vibration damping, helping to maintain concentricity and surface quality on small components. For precision work, fewer re-mounts and reduced dressing frequency translate into measurable time savings on the shop floor.

Compact design that integrates neatly into busy workshops

Measuring just 48 x 150 x 53 mm, this vice is built to occupy minimal bench or table space while still providing generous clamping capacity. The small footprint makes it straightforward to position on many grinding tables and small machine set-ups where space is at a premium. Its compactness supports efficient cell layouts and simplifies tooling changeovers, which is especially valuable in low-volume, high-mix production environments where floor space and quick accessibility matter.

Repeatable results for toolrooms and small-batch production

Designed with surface grinding in mind, the VC20 supports repeatable clamping for series of small parts and jigs. The combination of precise jaw adjustment and mass-based stability reduces variability between parts, improving first-pass yield and lowering rework rates. Technical terms explained: by "jaw opening" is meant the maximum distance between the jaws when fully opened; vibration damping refers to the vice’s ability to absorb and dissipate machining vibrations so the abrasive action remains consistent and predictable.
