Details
The Tradesman XC vise is built to handle tough clamping jobs in extreme environments. Unlike ordinary vises with a fixed center nut, Tradesman round channel vises have a rear - anchored nut for straight - line pull and even pressure, which means greater durability. The round channel design encloses the spindle and nut assembly, keeping debris out and lubrication in for smooth, long - lasting operation. All Tradesman vises come with main jaws, pipe jaws, and a machined anvil work surface for maximum versatility. The XC models have electroless nickel coating on key components, which extends their life in corrosive environments, saves money on repairs, and reduces downtime.

Manual
Using your Tradesman 1755XC Bench Vise is easy. First, mount it securely to a workbench using the four mounting points. The 360 - degree swivel base allows you to position the vise at any angle you need, and you can lock it in place with the double lockdowns. To clamp an object, open the jaws by turning the spindle. The precision slide bar ensures that the front jaw moves smoothly and stays in place. You can use the main jaws for general clamping, the pipe jaws for round objects, and the anvil for shaping materials. When using the reversible jaw inserts, choose the serrated side for a better grip on rough objects and the smooth side for softer materials to avoid marring. Keep in mind that this product has a Prop 65 warning about cancer and reproductive harm. Always work in a well - ventilated area. For maintenance, make sure the enclosed design keeps lubrication inside and contaminants out. Check the lubrication periodically and add more if needed. The electroless nickel coating on key components helps protect against corrosion, but in very corrosive environments, clean the vise regularly to maintain its performance.
