VRV-5 Mechanical Drill Vice with Prism Jaws — 650 kgf Clamping Force, 0–165 mm Opening (Vertex)

A VRV-5 mechanical drill vice engineered for secure clamping during drilling and light machining, featuring prism jaws to stabilise cylindrical workpieces in workshop and industrial settings.

• 650 kgf clamping force for secure workholding
• 0–165 mm adjustable jaw opening
• Compact footprint: 207 x 552 x 81 mm
• Robust mechanical design, 14 kg mass

Consistent, powerful clamping for precise machining

The vice delivers a high clamping force of 650 kgf, which provides the necessary holding power to prevent slippage during drilling and light milling operations. High clamping force reduces the risk of part movement and rework, improving throughput and component quality. Prism jaws are incorporated to cradle cylindrical components securely; these shaped jaws locate round bars and shafts by contact along a defined line, reducing micro-movement during cutting. The result is a workholding solution that supports repeatable, accurate holes and threads while reducing cycle interruptions and scrap.

Versatile range and compact footprint for workshop integration

With an adjustable jaw opening of 0–165 mm and a compact footprint of 207 x 552 x 81 mm, the vice suits a wide range of part sizes while occupying minimal bench or drill-press table space. The moderate mass of 14 kg balances stability with portability so that the unit is heavy enough to absorb cutting forces yet manageable for repositioning within the shop. This balance means the bench or column drill can be configured quickly for batch runs or one-off prototyping without long set-up times, supporting efficient workflows and better utilisation of floor space.

Mechanical reliability with low maintenance requirements

The mechanical design provides a straightforward, durable clamping mechanism that is easy to service and inspect. Compared with more complex hydraulic or pneumatic systems, the simple mechanical operation increases serviceability and reduces downtime. Components that are critical to clamping force and alignment are robustly engineered to sustain repeated cycles, contributing to operational reliability and predictable maintenance intervals. This predictable performance is particularly valuable where process consistency and uptime are priorities.

Application-focused features that support shop productivity

Built primarily for drilling and light machining tasks, the vice is ideal for securing shafts, bars and other cylindrical parts where prism-style clamping improves concentricity and reduces the need for additional fixtures. The vice’s specification and form factor make it suitable for general engineering workshops, maintenance departments and training facilities requiring dependable, easy-to-understand workholding. Clear numerical data such as jaw travel and overall dimensions aid planning for machine table allocation and fixture design, enabling faster procurement decisions and simpler integration into existing setups.

FAQ

Is the vice suitable for clamping round bars and shafts?
Yes. The prism jaws on the VRV-5 are specifically designed to stabilise cylindrical components such as bars and shafts, improving concentricity during drilling.

What is the maximum jaw opening for the vice?
The VRV-5 offers an adjustable jaw opening of 0–165 mm, enabling safe clamping of a broad range of part diameters.

How heavy is the unit and is it stable on a drill press table?
The vice weighs 14 kg; this mass provides adequate stability for standard drilling operations while remaining practical for repositioning on workbenches or drill tables.

Does the mechanical design require specialised maintenance?
No specialised maintenance is required. The mechanical clamping mechanism is simple to service, which supports predictable upkeep and minimises downtime for the VRV-5.

Can the vice be used for light milling in addition to drilling?
Yes. The robust clamping force and prism jaw geometry make the vice suitable for light milling tasks where secure holding of cylindrical parts is important.
