Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, clean the vise clamp to remove any dust, metal chips, or debris. Use a brush or compressed air.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a light machine oil or grease to the SUS304 trapezoidal screw and the bearing steel guide rods. This ensures smooth operation and prevents corrosion.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the screw, nuts, and guide rods for any signs of wear, damage, or stripped threads. Replace worn parts if necessary.
• Storage: Store the vise clamp in a clean, dry environment to prevent rust and damage.

Troubleshooting

• Vise not clamping securely:
  • Ensure the workpiece is properly seated within the V-jaws.
  • Verify that the adjustment handle is fully tightened.
  • Inspect the trapezoidal screw and brass lead screw nut for wear or stripped threads.
• Vise not sitting flat/square on the CNC table:
  • Check that the mounting bolts are tightened evenly.
  • Examine the vise body for any manufacturing defects (e.g., uneven surfaces, non-square components) that might prevent proper seating. If such defects are observed, contact customer service for assistance.
