Workshop Exercises for Bench Fitting
The first ITI fitting job is often a mild steel block filed flat and square. Students grip the block low in the jaws, with little of it above the jaw tops, so it does not chatter under the file. They file one face, test it against the light with a Square, and then file the next face square to it.
Later jobs add marking out and cutting. Students scribe a line with a Single Ended Scriber, set the work so the line stands just clear of the jaws, and saw beside it with a Hacksaw. Soft jaw caps of copper, aluminium or fibre protect a finished face when it goes back in the vice.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the 4 x 3 inch sizes mean?
The first figure is the jaw width, 4 inches, which is the length of grip across the jaw faces. The second is the maximum opening, 3 inches, the thickest piece the jaws will close on.
What is ductile iron, and why is it used for a vice?
Ductile iron is cast iron treated so that its graphite forms small round nodules instead of flakes. It is tougher than ordinary grey cast iron and less likely to crack from a sharp blow. That matters for a tool that is loaded and struck every day.
How should the vice be fixed to the bench?
Bolt it through its base to a solid bench top, using nuts and washers. Set the fixed jaw just past the bench edge, so long work can hang straight down without touching the bench.
Can I hammer on work held in the vice?
Light blows to set the work or to chip are fine, aimed toward the fixed jaw. Heavy forging belongs on an anvil. Never strike the sliding jaw or the screw, and never lengthen the handle with a pipe.
How do I keep the screw running freely?
Brush away filings and chips after each lesson, wipe the slide and screw, and add a few drops of oil. When the vice is not in use, leave the jaws closed to a small gap rather than clamped tight.
