SC VICE
A. Functioning
The vice works by simply turning the handle. The handle can be inserted into the hex keys on each side
of the spindle. The backs of the movable carriages contain icons which indicate direction of movement
depending on handle rotation direction.
The vice's self-centring system uses a threaded spindle - left and right - which is attached to the centre
of the vice via a support.
One of the ends of the spindle contains a hexagon that has been designed to move the movable
carriages towards the centre should the vice overrun and the handle become unseated.
These vices can be fastened in two ways: inwards and outwards. This is achieved by simply changing
the handle's direction of rotation.
The vice is supplied with the standard "ratchet" type handle. We recommend using a torque wrench if it
is necessary to control the force applied to fasten the part.
The force holding the workpiece is proportional to the torque applied to the handle. This list is shown on
page 11
Vice models SC 70, SC 90, SC 125 include two keys in parallel on the movable carriages. Different
fastening areas can be achieved depending on how we install the jaws and their step shapes. At the
front, the jaws have two threaded holes (except in SC-70 model) into which a fl at plate can be inserted
as a parallel to support the part if necessary. These holes can also be used for other types of support.
Models SC 90 5X and SC 125 5X include a pair of high jaws. The top of these jaws are supplied with
tempered jaws, for model SC 90 they are exclusive to that model and for model SC 125 they are
interchangeable with all Fresmak jaws
B. Cleanliness.
For correct operation, it is vital that the vice is kept as clean as possible at all times. To avoid swarf
damage, the spindle is protected by two scrapers, one on each side of the central support inside the
movable carriage.
For thorough cleaning, fully remove the movable carriages from the vice via the internal spindle hexagon.
The spindle remains attached to the vice. Now we can clean the interior of the movable carriages and
the spindle.
C. Correct use.
The vice includes greasers on both sides. Frequent greasing is recommended to prevent movement
stiffness or the vice seizing up.
To ensure vice durability over tightening is not recommended. Use of the supplied handle is recommended,
avoiding large spanners, pipes or knocks to the handle to achieve greater force.
