Features:
1. Strong, consistent grip:
The vice uses a continuous screw mechanism that ensures a powerful and stable grip on the workpiece.
2. No lifting of the sliding jaw:
When tightening, the sliding jaw does not lift off the base, giving better stability and preventing misalignment of the job.
3. V-grooves for round or odd-shaped work:
The fixed jaw typically has one vertical and one horizontal 90° V-groove, which helps gripping round or irregularly shaped workpieces securely.
4. Robust construction:
The body is made of closed-grained cast iron (C.I.), offering strength, rigidity, and durability for workshop use.
5. Multiple size options:
Apex drill vices come in a range of sizes (e.g. 3", 4", 5", 6", 8") to accommodate different job requirements.
6. Continuous screw mechanism:
The vice uses a continuous screw thread for clamping, which ensures a powerful and uniform grip on the workpiece. This helps prevent slipping or movement during drilling.
7. No lifting of sliding jaw on tightening:
When you tighten the vice, the moving/sliding jaw does not lift or misalign. This avoids unwanted displacement and ensures consistent holding position and alignment.
8. V-grooves on fixed jaw:
The fixed jaw is machined with one vertical and one horizontal 90° V-groove. This helps grip round, cylindrical or irregular-shaped workpieces in addition to flat metal blocks.
9. Plain moving jaw:
The movable jaw (sliding jaw) is plain (i.e. flat), which works together with the fixed jaw (with V-grooves) to offer flexibility depending on the shape of workpiece.
Advantages:
1. High Clamping Stability
The continuous screw mechanism provides a uniform and powerful grip, ensuring the workpiece doesn't slip during drilling.
2. No Jaw Lifting
The sliding jaw does not lift while tightening, resulting in better alignment, accuracy, and safer clamping.
3. Versatile Work-holding
The fixed jaw has horizontal & vertical V-grooves, allowing secure holding of round, square, and irregular-shaped workpieces.
4. Rigid & Durable Construction
Made from closed-grained cast iron (or S.G. iron in premium models), offering long service life and resistance to vibration.
5. Precision Machined Surfaces
Accurately ground jaws ensure firm and even contact with the job, improving drilling accuracy.
6. Multiple Size Options
Available in 3", 4", 5", 6", 8" sizes — suitable for light to medium-heavy drilling applications.
7. Ideal for Drilling Machines
Designed specifically for drill press / pillar drill use, providing better stability compared to general-purpose vices.
8. Low Maintenance
Simple screw mechanism and cast-iron body need minimal servicing and can withstand tough workshop conditions.
9. Cost-Effective & Reliable
Apex is a well-known industrial brand, offering long-lasting performance at a competitive price.
Applications:
1. Drilling operations using drill press / bench drill.
2. Light milling or metalworking where the workpiece needs stable holding.
3. Holding flat plates, metal blocks, round bars or irregular items — thanks to V-grooves and plain jaw combo.
4. Workshops, fabrication, maintenance work — especially for medium-duty tasks (for larger/heavier tasks, bigger size or heavier-duty vices may be preferable).
