Frequently asked questions
What is a drilling machine vice used for?
The BMO 100 mm vice is sized for pillar drills and drilling machines, with reduced weight and T-slots for quick fastening to the table.
Drilling machine vices are lighter than milling machine vices (less rigidity in the guides, but sufficient for the lower torque of drilling). The BMO series is for drilling machines, with adjustable jaws.
What does the 100 mm dimension indicate?
It indicates the jaw width (100 mm). The clamping width is generally equal to or slightly greater than the jaw width.
To choose the size: as a practical rule, the jaw width should be at least 70% of the workpiece dimension. For workpieces >100 mm, choose 100 mm or larger vices.
Which machine is it mounted on?
It is mounted on pillar drills and bench drills with a standard table.
Check for the availability of T-slots on the drill table. Milling machines require precision vices (PS, KV, PHV), not drilling machine vices.
Are the jaws replaceable?
Yes, the jaws are hardened, ground, and fully replaceable. This is an important advantage for long-term maintenance.
The jaws are the wear point of the vice: after thousands of clamps, they may show indentations or deformations. Replacement is independent using the dedicated fastening screws. Krollit supplies original replacement jaws.
How is precision maintained?
Regular cleaning of the guides and jaws, application of a light coat of oil on the sliding parts every 50 hours of use, periodic checking of parallelism with a dial indicator.
Chips accumulated in the guides compromise parallelism precision. For intensive use with coolant, dry the vice at the end of the shift to prevent rust on the ground parts. Acceptable parallelism tolerance: 0.02-0.05 mm over the length.
