Fitting Practicals at the Bench Vice
The usual first job in an ITI or college fitting shop is filing a mild steel block flat and square. Students clamp it low in the jaws, file with Engineers Flat Files and check each face against an Engineers Square.
Later jobs include sawing to a scribed line with a Hacksaw, chipping a slot and fitting a male and female square piece. When a finished face must be gripped, the copper or lead grips go on the jaws so they do not mark it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size of work will this vice hold?
The jaws are 120 mm wide and open to 140 mm, so parts up to that thickness can be clamped. Hold long bars close to the cut and support the overhang to stop chatter.
What are the fibre and copper or lead grips for?
They are soft covers that fit over the steel jaws. Fibre grips hold plastic, wood or polished parts without marking them, while copper or lead grips protect finished metal faces and threads.
How does the quick release help?
It lets you slide the moving jaw in or out without winding the screw the whole way, then tighten it with a short turn of the handle. This saves time when changing between jobs of different sizes.
At what height should the vice be fixed?
For filing, the top of the jaws is usually set at about elbow height for a student standing at the bench. Fix the vice so the fixed jaw sits just beyond the bench edge, letting long work hang clear.
Should I hammer the handle to tighten the vice?
No. Hand pressure on the handle is enough for filing and sawing, and hammering strains the screw and nut. Heavy striking work belongs on an anvil, not on the vice.
