New vice range is a juicy addition to Leader’s workholding range

1 min read

Workholding specialist Leader Chuck Systems has exclusively taken on the Orange Vise range of high quality precision vices.

Thoroughly engineered to deliver maximum clamping force and repeatability with quick-change features throughout, the vices are designed and manufactured in the USA to achieve the ideal balance of performance and longevity. Every vice is covered by a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and craftsmanship.

The range includes 4 and 6 inch (102 and 152 mm) dual station, and 6 by 16 inch (152 mm by 406 mm) single station vices. The 4 inch dual station vices offer a compact footprint while the larger vice is available in 17.5 and 20 inch (444.5 mm by 508 mm) lengths. Every dual station model features independent jaw stations, so dissimilar-sized workpieces can be clamped with equal force.

Machined from a solid billet of Dura-Bar iron rather than cast to shape there are no rough sand cast surfaces, every surface of the vice it is either machined or ground and then selectively powder coated. The screw is sealed so that no threads are ever exposed to chip or swarf ingress.

Managing Director, Mark Jones, says: "These precision machining vices are produced to exceptionally high levels, which is why they carry a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship. This quality comes as standard and the range is very competitively priced, so there is no cost penalty for any workshop selecting the best solution."

Based in Tamworth, Leader Chuck Systems designs and produces chucking, stationary clamping, gripping and workholding products and stocks equipment from suppliers including AutoGrip, Bison, CARVEsmart, Gamet, Hainbuch, Hewa, Iram, Lexair, Maprox, MicroCentric, Orange Vise, Posistop, ZeroClamp and Zweifel.
