Workshop Practice with Small Parts
In a fitting or sheet metal lab, students use the hand vice to hold a small plate flat on the table of the Electric Drill (Bench Drill). It keeps their fingers away from the bit while a small hole is drilled with a bit from the Drill Bit Set. Larger work goes in a Drilling Machine Vice instead.
For filing, a short pin or key is held in the hand vice. The hand vice is then gripped in the Bench Vice so the part stands clear of the big jaws. Students then file a chamfer or a flat with a flat or half round file from the File set.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is a hand vice different from a bench vice?
A bench vice is fixed to the bench and holds larger work for filing and sawing. A hand vice is small and free, so you can turn the part in your hand or take it to a machine. This one opens to 1/2 inch.
What size of work will it hold?
The jaws are 5/8 inch wide and open to 1/2 inch. That takes pins, small screws, keys, rivets, thin strip and the edge of a sheet. Anything larger belongs in a bench vice or a machine vice.
Should I drill work held only in a hand vice?
Only small, light parts with small holes, laid flat on the drill table and fed gently. For bigger holes, clamp the work in a machine vice, because a drill can catch loose work and spin it.
How do I look after a hand vice?
Brush out filings after use, put a drop of oil on the screw and the moving parts, and store it with the jaws closed. Do not use it as a hammer, a lever or a clamp for heavy work.
