VSM-12 mechanical milling vice — 800 kgf clamping force, 0–290 mm opening (Vertex)

VSM-12 is a mechanical milling vice intended for secure workholding in production and toolroom milling, offering robust clamping and consistent positioning for repeatable machining operations

• 800 kgf clamping force
• Cast iron construction for stiffness
• 0–290 mm opening range
• Accuracy 0.01 mm

Consistent clamping that improves machining accuracy

The vice combines a cast iron construction with a high clamping force 800 kgf, delivering the rigidity required to reduce vibration and maintain tool engagement during milling. This structural stability translates into fewer reworks and tighter tolerances on finished parts. With a documented accuracy 0.01 mm, the unit supports applications where repeatable positioning is essential, such as precision component manufacture or small-batch production. The mechanical drive avoids electronic calibration, simplifying inspection routines and supporting predictable performance over long runs.

Flexible setup and reduced cycle times

A wide 0–290 mm opening allows accommodation of a broad range of workpiece sizes without frequent jaw changes, speeding up job changeovers and lowering setup time per operation. The compact footprint, at 304 x 604 x 198 mm, pairs well with many milling machines and table configurations, while the mass of 84 kg helps the vice resist movement under heavy cuts. The mechanical design supports straightforward fixturing and clamping adjustments, which benefits shops that prioritise quick, reproducible setups and efficient use of machine time.

Designed for lasting workshop use and easy integration

Built as a mechanical vice, the unit emphasises serviceability and robust function over complexity; routine maintenance is limited to inspection and lubrication of moving parts. The combination of durable materials and proven mechanics ensures a long service life in demanding environments. Supplied under the Vertex brand and identified as SKU VSM-12, the vice is suitable as a core element of a workholding strategy where dependability, repeatability and straightforward maintenance matter most.
