Tork Craft Wood Working Vice 175mm
At a Glance: 175 mm jaw width, 210 mm max opening, quick-release bench vice
The Tork Craft Wood Working Vice 175mm (Cat No. TCV12175) is a solid, bench-mounted woodworking vice designed to keep your workpiece rock steady while you saw, plane, drill or sand. With a generous 175 mm jaw width, a maximum jaw opening of up to 210 mm and a throat depth of around 80 mm, it easily handles most general woodworking and carpentry jobs – from fine joinery to heavier DIY projects. A smooth-operating screw mechanism, toe-in jaws and accurately machined housings help the vice close squarely and clamp evenly across the workpiece, while the quick-release feature lets you reposition material in seconds.
Built from durable grey cast iron with chrome-plated working components, this woodworking bench vice is made to live on the front of your workbench. Pre-drilled mounting holes make installation straightforward, and the adjustable front stop allows you to use the vice as a bench stop for longer boards. Whether you are a professional cabinetmaker, a serious hobbyist or just upgrading your home workshop, this Tork Craft vice gives you secure clamping, repeatable accuracy and safer handling of timber and other materials.
Extra Information
- Designed as a front-mounted woodworking bench vice – ideal for carpentry benches, DIY workstations and small joinery shops.
- Suitable for clamping wood as well as many plastic and light metal workpieces when used within the vice’s capacity.
- Supplied as the vice unit only – mounting bolts and bench fixings are not included and should be selected to suit your bench construction.
- A dedicated Service Kit (Code: TCV12175-SK01) with replacement jaws, worm and handle is available separately for long-term maintenance.
- Lead screw and guide rods can be lightly lubricated from time to time to maintain smooth movement.
Pro Tip
- Line the vice jaws with hardwood or use magnetic jaw pads to protect delicate timber surfaces and improve grip on finished pieces.
- Set the top of the fixed jaw flush with, or slightly below, your benchtop so long boards can be clamped and supported level with the bench.
- When gluing up panels, use the adjustable front stop as a bench dog and combine the vice with clamps for extra even pressure.
Features
- 175 mm jaw width handles a wide range of boards and panels for general woodworking and carpentry.
- Max jaw opening ±210 mm provides ample clamping capacity for thick workpieces and glue-ups.
- Robust grey cast iron body offers excellent rigidity and long service life in a busy workshop.
- Chrome-plated screw, handle and guide rods ensure smooth action and improved corrosion resistance.
- Toe-in jaws and machined housings help the jaws close evenly for reliable, full-length clamping pressure.
- Quick-release mechanism allows rapid opening and closing of the jaws for faster workpiece changes.
- Pre-drilled mounting holes make it easy to bolt the vice securely to your bench front.
- Adjustable front stop can be used as a bench dog for supporting long or wide boards.
Benefits
- Secure, stable workholding minimises movement and vibration so your cuts, joints and sanding passes are more accurate.
- Faster setup and repositioning thanks to the quick-release action and smooth-running screw, saving time on repetitive tasks.
- Versatile clamping options with generous jaw width and opening for everything from edge planing to assembling frames.
- Cleaner, more precise results as the toe-in jaws pull the workpiece tightly against the fixed jaw for an even grip.
- Long-term durability from the heavy-duty cast iron construction and plated moving parts that stand up to workshop use.
- Improved safety by securing the workpiece firmly, reducing the risk of slips while cutting, drilling or chiselling.
Safety
- Wear eye, ear and dust protection when cutting, drilling, sanding or chiselling workpieces clamped in the vice.
- Ensure the vice is securely bolted to a solid workbench before applying clamping force or working on the material.
- Do not use excessive leverage on the handle – select the correct size vice for the job and avoid over-tightening.
- Keep hands, clothing and loose items clear of the jaws and moving screw while tightening or releasing the vice.
- Periodically inspect the mounting bolts, jaws and handle for wear or looseness and repair or replace components as needed.
