Description
Product Overview
The Forward 1750A industrial bench vise is engineered for robust performance in demanding environments. Constructed from high-strength ductile iron (SG Iron) with a tensile strength of 60,000 PSI, this vise ensures longevity and resistance to wear. It features a 6-inch (150mm) jaw width, 5.5-inch (140mm) jaw opening, and 5-inch (127mm) throat depth, providing ample space for securing various workpieces. The powder-coated black finish enhances durability against corrosion, while the industrial style suits professional and DIY settings. Key specifications include a pipe capacity ranging from 1/2 to 3 1/2 inches in diameter, an anvil size of 6×2.8 inches, and mounting holes of 0.55 inches for easy installation. With a clamping force of 2500 kg (5500 lbs) when hitch-mounted and 3500 kg (7700 lbs) when bench-mounted, it handles heavy-duty tasks with precision, thanks to its machined main screw for smooth operation.
Usage
This bench vise is designed for versatile applications in workshops, garages, and mobile setups, such as on trucks with a standard 2-inch hitch receiver. It is ideal for metalworking, woodworking, and general fabrication, where secure clamping is essential for cutting, drilling, or shaping materials. Target users include professional mechanics, construction workers, and serious DIY enthusiasts who require reliable tool holding. The vise’s hitch-mount capability makes it suitable for on-site repairs, while bench mounting provides stability for stationary projects. Its grooved, replaceable jaws enhance grip on irregular surfaces, ensuring safety and efficiency in tasks involving pipes, rods, or custom components.
