Standard Block Ball Vise For Engraving and Jewelry Making
INSTRUCTIONS #003-530
Standard Block will provide many years of trouble-free service. It is
extremely rugged in construction, yet is relatively simple and easy to
maintain. Lubrication required is minimal.
The jaw adapter plates are drilled to accept engraving block attachments.
offers a 30-piece attachment set (#003-520) that includes storage for the
adapter plates and pins that come with the block.
Maintenance
Based on usage, open jaws fully and clean any dirt and metal pieces from the threads. After cleaning, apply a small amount of light oil to the threads.
Vise Jaw Thread Replacement #003-627 & #003-628
Overtightening the jaws will cause wear and damage to the threads.
If jaws become loose, replace with kit #003-627. Remove the jaws by opening
them as wide as possible until they come off the end of the jaw screw (FIG.
1). The jaw thread pin is located on the under side of each jaw.
NOTE: Before removing pins, locate the one with the “L”. This is the left hand thread pin and will need to replaced with the same. Apply a small amount of grease (included in kit) to the O-rings and jaw screw before installing them. Lift the jaw screw out of the yoke that it rotates in and replace it. Note which side the left hand thread is on. Grease the threads and yoke well.
Now, the hard part: you must start the jaws threads at the same time when replacing them (FIG. 2). Hold each jaw in position and turn the jaw screw to close them. Either a large rubber band or a second person is useful to help turn the jaw screw while you hold the jaws against the thread. If the jaws don’t meet at the same time in the center, remove them and try starting the threads at the same time again.
Rotational Lock Replacement
The LOCK or DRAG PIN is subject to much wear and may need to be replaced after
extended use. Simply remove the ball swivel tension screw with the hex wrench.
The spring and Lock Pin should follow (FIG. 3); if not, turn the ball until
they fall out. Replace the Lock Pin (#003-046), Spring, and Tension Screw.
Turntable Base For Microscope Work · #003-616-V2
To use the Turntable Base, lock the vise by tightening the swivel tension
screw until the ball will not turn. The turntable now becomes your rotation,
allowing you to adjust the work’s center of rotation into the field of view of
the microscope. Align the center of the turntable with the center of the
microscope view (FIG. 4). Change working views by repositioning the vise.
Thread Pin Replacement Kit · #003-627
(Not Shown). Includes Jaw Screw, Left and Right Thread Pins, O-Rings, and Tube
of Grease.
