Engineer’s vice YATO YT-6505, cast iron, 10 cm clamp opening, swivel base, 11 kg

The Engineer’s vice Yato YT-6505 is a cast iron bench vice with a 100 mm jaw width and a robust 11 kg body that provides a stable clamping platform for machining, filing and assembly tasks. Designed for workshop and garage environments, this vice combines a wide clamp opening with a solid base to hold workpieces firmly during cutting, drilling and finishing operations.

Advantages

The cast iron construction offers high rigidity and wear resistance to support repetitive use and heavy loads. A 100 mm jaw width and generous throat depth allow secure clamping of a variety of workpiece sizes. The vice’s weight and footprint enhance stability to reduce vibration and movement during precision tasks. Machined jaw faces ensure parallel clamping surfaces for accurate alignment.

Suitable for

• Metalworking and light fabrication
• Drilling, filing and grinding operations
• Assembly and disassembly of mechanical components
• Hobbyist and professional workshop use

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 100 mm
• Material: cast iron
• Weight: 11 kg
• Clamp opening (maximum): 100 mm
• Fixed base suitable for bench mounting

How to use

Securely fasten the vice to a workbench using appropriate bolts through the base holes. Open the jaws by turning the handle and position the workpiece between the jaws so contact is on the machined faces. Tighten the handle until the workpiece is held firmly but without excessive force that might damage the part. For delicate pieces, use protective jaw covers or soft pads to prevent marking.

Recommendations

Regularly check and clean the screw and guide surfaces to remove chips and debris. Apply light machine oil to the lead screw periodically to maintain smooth operation and prevent corrosion. Use jaw protectors for soft materials and avoid using the vice as an anvil or for striking operations to prolong service life.
