Buying a vice - the right choice for your workshop

A sturdy and reliable vice ensures a secure hold and precise work. Anyone working on metal, wood or other materials needs a robust clamping tool that reliably holds the workpiece in place. You will find a large selection for various applications in our range.

What types of vice are there?

When buying a vice, it is important to select the right model for your requirements. There are numerous variants that differ in size, clamping force and flexibility. Below is an overview of the most common types of vice at paulimot:

Drilling machine vices - These are attached directly to a drilling machine and enable precise fixing of the workpiece during drilling. Ideal for metal and woodworking

. Rotating machine vices - Thanks to their 360° rotatability on the base plate, workpieces can be machined from different angles. Particularly practical for flexible applications.

Ground machine vices - These models are characterised by an absolutely flat clamping surface, which enables particularly precise fixing. Perfect for precision mechanics and precise metalworking

. Pull-down vices - This variant offers an extremely high clamping force and pulls the workpiece downwards during the clamping process. This is useful for preventing slippage, even when high force is applied.

Self-centring vices - This type ensures that the workpiece remains exactly in the centre. Ideal for work that requires maximum precision.

Swivelling machine vices - These models can be swivelled vertically and allow the workpiece to be tilted, making complex machining operations much easier.

Bench vices - Lightweight and compact vices that can be flexibly attached to a table. Ideal for hobbyists or for mobile use.

Bench vices - Robust models that are permanently mounted on a workbench and offer a high clamping force. These are designed for long-term workshop use.

Angle vices - These allow workpieces to be clamped at certain angles and are particularly suitable for mitre cuts and angular work.

Protective jaws for vices - Special protective jaws are available for gentle clamping of sensitive materials such as aluminium, wood or plastic. These prevent the formation of pressure marks.

What should you look out for when buying a vice?

A vice is a long-term investment, so you should pay attention to the following factors when buying one: 1. quality - High-quality vises are made of hardened steel or cast iron. These materials are particularly durable and resistant. 2. clamping force - The clamping force should be sufficient to hold your workpiece securely in place without damaging it. 3. jaw width - The width of the clamping jaws should be selected depending on the size of the workpiece. Common dimensions are between 75 mm and 200 mm. 4. flexibility - Rotating or swivelling models offer more working comfort and enable more versatile use. 5. mounting - A vice for workbenches should be permanently mounted, while a mobile vice can be used flexibly.

How to use a vice correctly?

A vice is an indispensable tool in metal and woodworking. To get the most out of it, you should follow a few basic rules: 1. securely mount the vice A workbench vice should be mounted securely on a solid workbench. Use screws or bolts to prevent it from wobbling or slipping. Mobile versions should be mounted on a flat surface to ensure a secure hold.

2 Clamp the workpiece correctly

The workpiece should be positioned so that the jaws of the vice hold it firmly without damaging it.

Use protective jaws for vices when clamping delicate materials to avoid pressure marks.

Make sure that the workpiece is fully positioned between the clamping jaws to prevent it from slipping.

3 Correct handling of the clamping force

Tighten the spindle evenly to securely fix the workpiece

. Excessive force can damage the workpiece

. Pull-down vices are suitable for particularly hard materials, as they also pull the workpiece downwards.

4 Safe machining of the workpiece

Always wear safety goggles and gloves to protect yourself from chips and sparks

. For metal work, use a ground or rotating vice for flexible machining.

An angle vice is recommended for angled cuts or mitres.

5 Maintenance and care

Keep the spindle clean and lubricate it regularly with a lubricant to extend its service life.

Remove metal shavings or wood debris after each use.

Check the clamping jaws for wear and replace them if necessary.

If the vice rusts, clean it with a wire brush and apply a thin layer of oil.
