The threads on this screw have excellent wear properties, load capabilities and tolerances than any standard threaded rod. The threads are thicker and wider and are opted for environments with dirt and debris.
Which objects can be held by these bench vises?
Models, such as XF45 and XF50, feature large capacity forged jaws to clamp pipes and rods, securely.
How are F-series vises fixed to the bench?
The F-Series vises are fitted to the surface with the help of bolts passing through the planks of the bench. The bolts are tightened utilising nuts and washers, securing the vise on the bench. If not fixed rigidly, these vises can vibrate and impair the surface finish and accuracy.
