Michael Cox reviews a new vice.
Axminster have a new range of ‘trade vices’ for engineers. These vices come with a range of jaw widths ranging from 80 mm to 150 mm This review relates to the vice with an 80 mm jaw width, photo 1.
The vice, made in the Czech Republic, is a substantial chunk of cast iron weighing 6.1 kg. and very solidly constructed. The vice itself can be swivelled on the base by about 40 degrees in either direction by loosening the clamp screws on either side, photo 2.
