DOUBLE LOCK
INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
The Kurt DoubleLock Vise offers two clamping stations. This vise is ideal
for clamping parts of the same size or dissimilar size, and can perform first
and secondary operations simultaneously. It is packaged to prevent any
damage to its components. Please inspect the vise carefully for any shipping
damage and, if necessary report it to your carrier.
After inspection, follow these steps to install your DoubleLock Vise:
1. Position the vise on your machine table, pallet or sub-plate using the
Precision bored holes located on the bottom of the vise for alignment.
See figure 2 on page 4 for locating hole patterns.
2. A couple of options to mount the vise in place. One option is to use
external clamps on the clamp groove on each side of the vise. NOTE: To
reduce any possible deflection while clamping parts, mount external
clamps on each side towards the center of the vise in the clamp grooves.
A preferred option would be to use the eight cap screw holes through
the vise bed. To gain access to the holes, open both stations to the full
opening. Remove the Jaw Plates mounted to the center Stationary Jaw
and two Moveable Jaws sets. See figure 1, page 4 for mounting hole
pattern. Note: The four mounting holes toward the center Stationary is
required when using this mounting option. The four mounting holes
under Moveable Jaws are an addition to mounting with this setup.
If desired both mounting options may be used.
