Maintenance Schedule
It is very important to perform regularly maintenance on your Kurt vise
to assure proper operation. Improper maintenance will result in poor
vise performance and may void your warranty.
Daily / Weekly
1. Remove chips from surface of vise.
2. Visually inspect for chips, seals for damage and cleanliness.
3. Visually inspect for chip entrapments and remove when necessary.
4. Air-dry and apply rust inhibiting oil to the machined surface of the
vise.
Monthly
1. Open the vise to the maximum opening.
2. In the back of the movable jaw (handle end, center hole) loosen
the socket head set screw (approx. 6 turns) With the hex key (Allen
wrench) in the set-screw socket lift up and forward to pivot the Jaw
off of the vise bed.
3. Slide the Jaw slightly toward the stationary jaw and lift up to
remove the jaw from the “hook” of the nut. Note: A spherical
segment (shaped as ½ of a steel ball) is inside the cavity of the
movable jaw and may fall out as the jaw is removed. Take care not
to lose or misplace the spherical segment.
4. Turn the movable jaw over and clean the inside cavity. Also clean
the spherical segment.
5. Remove chips, clean and apply a light coat of machine oil to the
machined surface of the following items:
a. Nut & Screw assembly (clean exposed threads on the screw
b. Bed of vise (top of “rails”)
c. Inside of the vise between the center ways.
6. To re-assemble the movable jaw, apply a “glob” of grease to the
under side of the movable jaw in the pocket. Place the spherical
segment in the mating pocket and push into the grease. The
grease will hold the segment in place when the jaw is turned over
to replace.
7. Tip the jaw so the front of the jaw (the side with the jaw plate) is on
the vise bed. Lower the jaw on to the bed so that the segment
contact the hook part of the nut and rest the jaw on to the vise
bed.
