Who is the BMO 120 drilling machine vice for
The BMO 120 drilling machine 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 serial processing: fast and repeatable clamping for production cycles.
Not suitable for: turning cylindrical workpieces (lathes require self-centering chucks, not milling vices).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a drilling machine vice for?
The BMO 120 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 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 120 mm dimension indicate?
It indicates the jaw width (120 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 120 mm or larger.
Which machine is it mounted on?
It is mounted on pillar drills and bench drilling machines with a standard table.
Check 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 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 with dedicated fixing screws. Krollit supplies original replacement jaws.
How is precision maintained?
Regular cleaning of the guides and jaws, application of a light layer of oil on the 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.
