Who is the BMS 100 Industrial Drilling Machine Vise for?
The BMS 100 industrial drilling machine vise is recommended for the following professional profiles:
-
Mechanical workshops and millers: secure clamping of parts during milling and drilling on machine tools.
-
Production departments with series processing: quick and repeatable clamping for production cycles.
Not suitable for: turning cylindrical parts (lathes require self-centering chucks, not milling vises).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a drilling machine vise used for?
The BMS 100 mm vise is sized for drill presses and drilling machines, with reduced weight and T-slots for quick attachment to the table.
Drilling machine vises are lighter than milling vises (less rigidity in the guides, but sufficient for the lower torque of drilling). The BMS series is for drilling machines, with quick clamping.
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 size of the workpiece. For pieces >100 mm, choose 100 mm or larger vises.
Which machine is it mounted on?
It is mounted on drill presses and bench drilling machines with a standard table.
Check for the presence of T-slots on the drill table. Milling machines require precision vises (PS, KV, PHV), not drilling machine vises.
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 vise: after thousands of clamps, they may show indentations or deformations. Replacement is independent with dedicated fastening 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.
Chips accumulated in the guides compromise parallelism precision. For intensive use with coolant, dry the vise at the end of the shift to prevent rust on the ground parts. Acceptable parallelism tolerance: 0.02-0.05 mm over the length.
