0-125mm Machinist Vice With Quick-Adjust, Two-Axis Swivel, 800 kgf Clamp Force - Vertex

Take advantage of the combination of 800 kgf clamping force, a 0–125 mm jaw opening and compact dimensions for reliable, repeatable clamping across everyday machining tasks. Order the vice directly via Metav Werkzeuge or ask our consultants for tailored advice and delivery options.

VQW-100 Vertex mechanical vice with quick adjustment and two-direction movement

The VQW-100 is a mechanical vice engineered for precision clamping in workshop and light machining environments, combining a rapid adjustment mechanism with movement in two directions for flexible workholding.

• Rapid quick-adjust mechanism
• Two-direction movable slide
• 800 kgf clamping force
• 0–125 mm jaw opening

Faster set-ups thanks to the quick-adjust system

The built-in quick adjustment streamlines fixture changes and reduces non-productive time while preserving a secure hold for subsequent machining operations. The slide, which is movable in two directions, allows lateral positioning without the need to reclamp the workpiece, so set-up cycles become more efficient and repeatable. This combination is particularly valuable on benches and smaller machine tables where rapid changeovers make a measurable difference to throughput.

Secure, consistent clamping for better machining results

A rated clamping force of 800 kgf and a 0–125 mm jaw opening provide a balance between grip strength and versatility for a wide range of stock sizes. The vice delivers an accuracy of 0.01 mm, ensuring the workpiece remains steady under cutting or drilling forces and reducing the risk of rework. These measurable characteristics translate into more predictable machining outcomes and lower scrap rates for routine production and repair tasks.

Compact footprint that fits workshop workflows

With overall dimensions of 303x490 mm, a height of 108 mm and a mass of 22.7 kg, the vice offers a stable base without monopolising bench space. Its mechanical operation keeps maintenance straightforward and avoids reliance on electronic controls, which suits busy workshops that prioritise robustness and long service life. The vice integrates easily with existing fixtures and vises, supporting quick retrofits and minimising disruption to established processes.

FAQ

How strong is the clamping force and what does that mean for workshop use?
The Vertex VQW-100 mechanical vice provides a clamping force of 800 kgf, which secures workpieces reliably during drilling, milling and general machining, reducing movement and improving finish consistency.

What size workpieces can be held in this vice?
The vice accommodates jaw openings from 0–125 mm, making the VQW-100 suitable for a wide range of common workpiece thicknesses encountered in fabrication and maintenance tasks.

Is the VQW-100 suitable for repeated quick changeovers?
Yes, the quick adjustment mechanism and two-direction movement of the slide are designed to speed up set-ups and repositioning, supporting frequent changeovers without compromising clamping stability.

How precise is the vice for aligning parts before machining?
The vice offers an accuracy of 0.01 mm, allowing for precise alignment and consistent reference positioning that benefits toolpaths and reduces the need for corrective machining.

Can the vice be mounted on standard machine tables or benches?
The compact dimensions (303x490 mm) and mechanical design of the VQW-100 make it compatible with most workshop benches and smaller machine tables; Metav Werkzeuge can advise on specific mounting arrangements if required.
