Palmgren Operating Manual & Parts List
DESCRIPTION
Palmgren 4" and 6" Drill Press Vises provide
accurate clamping and positioning for
milling, drilling and other machiningg oper-
ations. Left and right sides and back of vise
are precision machined perpendicular to
base for precise positioning. All jaw sliding
surfaces and leadscrew are ground for
smooth operation. Stationary jaw is grooved
in cross pattern for clamping round stock in
horizontal and vertical positions. Grooves on
left and right sides of base are provided to
allow for secure mounting of vise to table.
SAFETY RULES
• Understand and obey all safety instruc-
tions supplied with drill press, mill, or
other machines on which vise is used.
• Clamp vise to work surface in at least
two mounting locations using mount-
ing grooves provided on sides of base.
• Be sure workpiece is clamped securely
between jaws before starting machin-
ing operation.
• Do not over tighten—vise can develop
a large clamping force. Use only force
which is needed.
• Do not pound or hammer on work-
piece. This vise is designed to clamp
the workpiece in a desired position for
machining operations only.

• Mount vise to work surface in desired
location. Secure vise using mounting
grooves on side of base Be sure to
clamp vise to work surface on both
sides of base.
• Open jaws of vise and place workpiece
between jaws in desired position. Secure
workpiece between jaws by rotating
leadscrew with handle (Ref. No. 7). Be
sure workpiece is held securely in vise
before starting machining operation.
• Round stock can be clamped in vise by
positioning workpiece in V-grooves on
stationary jaw plate (Ref. No. 3). Be sure
workpiece is held securely in vise
before starting machining operation.
MAINTENANCE
Particles of metal or wood can damage
machined surfaces, causing difficult or
inaccurate operation.
• The vise is shipped with a protective
coating. This coating should be
removed before operation. Use pene-
trating oil to remove protective coating.
• Keep machined surfaces and all mov-
ing parts clean and free of dirt, chips
and foreign materials.
