Bench Vice Bahco 834V-6 Weight 19 kg

The Bahco 834V-6 bench vice weighs 19 kg and is built to provide a stable, durable clamping solution for workshop tasks. Constructed from robust materials with a solid base and wide jaws, this bench vice is intended to hold workpieces firmly during metalworking, woodworking and general assembly operations. Its weight and build reduce vibration and movement, allowing for safer and more accurate work when filing, sawing, drilling or bending.

Advantages

The vice combines a heavy-duty cast construction with precision-ground jaws and a smooth screw mechanism to ensure reliable clamping force and long service life. Its 19 kg mass contributes to stability on a workbench, while the design provides easy access to the clamping area and consistent jaw alignment. The smooth operation reduces the effort required to secure materials and supports repeated use in professional or hobby environments.

Suitable for

• Metalworking: holding metal for cutting, filing, drilling and bending
• Woodworking: securing timber and components for sawing, sanding and shaping
• General workshop tasks: assembly, gluing and repair work
• Hobby and DIY projects requiring stable, reliable clamping

Key specifications

• Weight: 19 kg for enhanced stability
• Construction: heavy-duty cast body for durability
• Jaw type: wide, precision-ground jaws for secure grip
• Operation: screw-driven mechanism for smooth clamping action
• Mounting: designed for bench mounting to provide a fixed working point

How to use

Mount the bench vice to a sturdy workbench using appropriate fastening hardware to ensure a secure installation. Open the jaws by turning the handle counterclockwise, position the workpiece between the jaws and tighten by turning the handle clockwise until the piece is held firmly but not overstressed. Check jaw alignment and adjust positioning as needed to achieve even pressure across the workpiece. Release the workpiece by turning the handle in the opposite direction. Periodically inspect the screw and contact surfaces and clear debris to maintain smooth operation.

Recommendations

Use protective jaw covers when clamping finished or delicate surfaces to avoid marks. Apply light machine oil to the lead screw at regular intervals to maintain smooth movement. Ensure the vice is mounted close to the front edge of the bench for comfortable access and consider using additional supports for long workpieces to prevent bending or vibration.
