Details
The Tradesman round channel vise is engineered for the toughest clamping jobs. Unlike many vises with a fixed - center nut, this vise has its nut anchored at the rear. This design offers straight - line pulling and even pressure, making it highly durable. The round channel design encloses the spindle and nut assembly, keeping out debris and retaining lubrication for smooth, long - lasting operation. It comes with main jaws, pipe jaws, and a machined anvil work surface for maximum versatility.
Features
- Its 60,000 PSI ductile iron body, jaw, and base are almost indestructible, twice as strong as gray cast iron.
- The enclosed design ensures smooth operation by keeping lubrication in and contaminants out.
- The large anvil can withstand heavy impacts when shaping materials.
- The longer spindle nut provides smooth movement and a stronger straight - line pull.
- The machined steel serrated jaws with phosphate coating are durable and long - lasting.
- The precision slide bar keeps the front jaw stable regardless of the opening distance.
- The redesigned spindle assembly enhances the product's overall lifespan and durability.
- The reversible jaw inserts have a serrated side for better grip and a smooth side to protect softer surfaces.

Using the Tradesman 1765 Bench Vise is easy. First, find a stable surface and use the four mounting points to secure it firmly. You can use the main jaws for general clamping, and the pipe jaws when working with pipes. The anvil work surface is great for shaping and forming materials. When using the vise, make sure to close the jaws gently at first and then gradually tighten them for a secure grip. Remember, this vise contains substances that may cause cancer according to Prop 65, so take appropriate safety measures. For maintenance, keep the vise clean and free of debris. Since it has an enclosed design, the lubrication is kept in. But it's still a good idea to check the lubrication periodically and add more if needed. Also, check the spindle, slide bar, and jaw inserts regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice the jaw inserts are getting worn, you can reverse them to use the other side. This will help you get the most out of your vise and keep it working smoothly for a long time.
