Who is the BMO 200 Drill Press Vice for?
The BMO 200 drill press vice is recommended for the following professional profiles:
-
Mechanical workshops and milling operators: secure clamping of workpieces during milling and drilling on machine tools.
-
Production departments with series processing: fast and repeatable clamping for production cycles.
Not suitable for: turning cylindrical workpieces (lathes require self-centering chucks, not milling machine vices).

Frequently asked questions
What is a drill press vice used for?
The BMO 200 mm vice is sized for drill presses and drilling machines, featuring reduced weight and T-slots for quick attachment to the table.
Drill press 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 swivel jaws.
What does the 200 mm dimension indicate?
It indicates the jaw width (200 mm). The clamping width is generally equal to or slightly greater than the jaw width.
To choose the size: as a rule of thumb, the jaw width should be at least 70% of the workpiece size. For workpieces >100 mm, choose vices 200 mm or larger.
Which machine is it mounted on?
It can be mounted on drill presses and bench drilling machines with a standard table.
Check for the availability of T-slots on the drill table. Milling machines require precision vices (PS, KV, PHV), not drill press vices.
Are the jaws replaceable?
Yes, the jaws are hardened, ground, and fully replaceable. This is a significant advantage for long-term maintenance.
The jaws are the wear point of the vice: after thousands of clamping operations, they may show indentations or deformations. Replacement is an autonomous process using dedicated fastening screws. Krollit supplies original replacement jaws.
How is precision maintained?
Regular cleaning of guides and jaws, application of a light oil film on sliding parts every 50 hours of use, periodic checking of parallelism with a dial indicator.
Accumulated chips 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.
