Wilton bench vises are usually constructed of malleable cast iron or cast steel. The jaws of these bench vises are often detached and can be changed, usually carved with diamond or serrated teeth.
The major function of any vise is to hold an object securely and safely so that it can be worked on. Wilton bench vises make work, such as sanding, finishing, chipping, sawing and welding easier by freeing the user's hands to perform the required task.
Vise is a device consisting of two parallel jaws for securing a workpiece. One of the jaws is fixed and the other is movable using a lever, screw or a cam. The vise can be bolted forever to a bench for holding a workpiece during operations, such as hammering, filing or sawing.
Throat depth in a bench vise typically refers to the vertical distance from the top edge of the jaw to the top of the main guide rods and screws. For these vises, 3 to 4 inches is the ideal throat depth range.
Buttress thread is usually used in a bench vise. In such a type of thread, one flank is perpendicular to the axis of the thread and another flank is angled at 45 degrees. These threads are employed in carpentry vises, bench vises, power press, gun breeches and ratchets.
Users need to cover their eyes and faces with a shield, safety glasses and goggles. They need to make sure that the bench vise fits perfectly to the work table with bolts. Users need to keep the fixed jaw at length slightly beyond the working table to keep the long pieces away from interfering.
Soft metal, wood or copper can be used to secure finishes from insert jaw serrations.
