Description
A small self centring vice for your desktop. Designed to look nice on your desk and be at hand whenever you need it.
Being self centring keeps the model in the centre of the vice for balance and at only 110mm x 70mm x 30mm it is easily hand held if necessary enabling access to all sides of whatever its gripping.
It comes in 6 main parts, The Main Body, Main Bolt, Front Clamp, Back Clamp, Front Cover and Winding Handle. You will also need 3 x M3 x 6mm bolts (although you can use anything up to 10mm). The bolts don't need to be super tight so only tighten till you feel a small resistance.
The Main bolt has Left Hand threads at the rear and Right hand threads at the front so each Clamp has a corresponding thread. I have marked the Front Clamp with an 'F' and the Back Clamp with a 'B' so don't get them mixed up.
