What vise to buy

Vice is selected and bought depending on various factors. The defining ones are the dimensions of the blanks and the concrete front of the work to be performed.

1. With the help of HV / 100 GR35501 from GROZ, any household operations with small items, whether sharpening or soldering, are carried out. Design P54M08A from Jonnesway allows you to fix various small parts in the installation: carpentry, roofing, welding.

2. When performing the machining, until the deburring is done, use the WS5 workshop from WILTON or Expert 32600-63 from the Bison. For more serious and regular operation, a professional Craftsman 1765 WI63201 from WILTON is bought.

3. For working with wood, the best option is Expert 32731-225 from Zubr and WWV / P-6 GR39006 from JET.

4. WA1-100 from Blacksmith are indispensable in the welding of rolled steel and the gluing of sawn timber at right angles. For drilling operations, the Q100 100x100 mm WI69997RU from WILTON is suitable. Any processing, including milling and grinding, is possible when using UV / SP-100 GR35031 from JET.

No less important factor influencing the choice is the price of the goods. With periodic use it is not rational to buy expensive vice - they are more suitable for production use. On the other hand - too cheap machines are not designed for a long run of operation. Another criterion of choice - the reputation of producers - a summary of the best of them is given at the beginning of the article.
