The 2-dimensional precision vice is a professional-grade vice distributed by Krollit.
Its place in the Bernardo range
The Bernardo 2-dimensional precision vice is part of the Bernardo vice range, distributed in Italy by Krollit since 2007. The Bernardo range includes models of various categories and performance levels: to choose the right machine for your use case, you can consult the Bernardo catalog on Krollit or contact customer support for selection assistance.
Krollit Logistics and Support
Shipping 3-5 working days from Krollit warehouse for spare parts and accessories. Customer support in Italian available for technical documentation and compatibility verification with the reference machine. Krollit has been an official distributor since 2007.
Who is the 2-dimensional precision vice for?
The 2-dimensional precision vice is recommended for the following professional profiles:
-
Mechanical workshops and millers: secure clamping of workpieces during milling and drilling on machine tools.
-
Production departments with series processing: rapid 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 this vice used for?
It is used for clamping workpieces during milling, drilling, or planing operations on machine tools.
Bernardo vices have precision ground guides, hardened and replaceable jaws, and a swivel base with a graduated scale. Professional quality for continuous use.
What dimensions should be considered?
The main characteristics are jaw width (the clamping jaws) and clamping width (the maximum opening).
For small workpieces (<60 mm), 50-75 mm vices are sufficient. Medium workpieces (60-100 mm) require 100-125 mm. Large workpieces (>100 mm) require 150-200 mm or wide-opening vices.
Which machine is it mounted on?
It is mounted on universal milling machines, bench milling machines, and machining centers with standard DIN T-slot tables.
Check the weight of the vice against the table's capacity. Bernardo {series or "PS/KV"} vices are sized for professional milling machines; for small bench milling machines, lightweight models are needed (PTS 50, PGS 50).
Are the jaws replaceable?
Yes, the jaws are hardened, ground, and completely 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 autonomous using the dedicated fixing screws. Krollit provides original replacement jaws.
How is precision maintained?
Regular cleaning of guides and jaws, application of a light layer of oil on 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 ground parts. Acceptable parallelism tolerance: 0.02-0.05 mm over the length.
