Fig. 4.
1. Bar; 2. Moveable jaw; 3. Mark on the body
If the mark is visible (fig. 4b), reposition the moveable jaw for smaller
clamping range.
To reposition the moveable jaw first raise the mandrel (pos. 5) with help of the
eccentric (pos. 6) fig.3.
Having repositioned the jaw for required clamping range set the eccentric so
that the mandrel meets the recess in the feed bar.
Jaw inserts can work with both sides i.e. with smooth side or with grooved
side.
Maximum clamping force is shown in the table depending on vice size.
6. Fastening of the vice
To fasten the vice on lathe table use retaining keys, which, depending on
need, can be set in longitudinal or transverse groove of the vice.
The vice is fastened to the lathe table with square screws. If spacing of table
grooves does not match spacing of screw openings in the vice use special
lugs.
