Assembly and Maintenance Instructions
HEUER Vice
Our forged steel Parallel Vice System HEUER is a high quality product. By following the correct
assembly and maintenance, it will give decades of reliable service.
1. Assembly
a) When the vice is fixed to the workbench, the
jaw of the fixed rear saddle projects vertically
about 10 mm above the edge of the workbench.
This utilises the full side clamping potential of
the vice and allows longer work pieces to be
clamped upright in front of the workbench
.
b) The best way of securing the vice is to use
clearance bolts and nuts. The bolt holes should
be carefully marked and drilled about 2 mm
larger than the bolt diameter. When the bolts
are pushed through the vice and workbench,
they must never be tight or skewed in their
holes.
c) At the start of the assembly, the two vice
jaws must be firmly clamped together. Before
the bolts are inserted and tightened, it is es-
pecially important to ensure that the vice does
not rock, but sits flat and square on the work-
bench. The four fixing screws should be uni-
formly tightened, using a crosswise tighten-
ing sequence, especially when fixing the vice
to a softer material such as wood. If the base
of the vice does not sit flat and square, or the
bolts become skewed or wedged due to uneven
tightening, the vice will bind and/or move jerk-
ily, and the guides will one-sided burden...
2. Maintenance
a) In the final stages of manufacture the
guide surfaces are, if necessary, carefully
cleaned to remove any traces of paint over
12
spray, and are then newly lubricated with
light machine oil. This cleaning and oiling of
the guide runners should be repeated as of-
ten as required. However, the side location of
the guide runners generally provides excel-
lent protection from both dirt and damage.
b) Despite the good protection afforded to the
spindle, it is still recommended that the spin-
dle threads and the spindle nut are cleaned
and re-greased every two years. To carry
this out, the adjustment screw for the guide,
that simultaneously restricts the opening
width, must first be removed. After the spin-
dle has been unwound from the spindle nut,
the movable front portion of the vice can be
removed on its own. The spindle threads and
spindle nut should be thoroughly cleaned
using a suitable de-greasing fluid, and then
re-greased. At the same time, the inner guide
surfaces of the fixed portion of the vice can
be cleaned. It also helps re-assembly of the
movable portion if a few drops of oil are ap-
plied to the spindle head and pressure ring
in the spindle housing. Re-assembly is the
reverse sequence of disassembly.
3. Replace the spindle (see fig. on page 15)
i.e. the spring assembly using HEUER bench
vice. Firstly, the pressure ring must be
pressed against the compression spring in the
front jaw hole. To do this, an angle iron or ano-
ther suitable object is clamped between the co-
ver plate and pressure ring. The bench vice is
