Who is the BMS 200 Industrial Drilling Machine Vice for
The BMS 200 industrial 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 series production: rapid and repeatable clamping for production cycles.
Not suitable for: turning cylindrical parts (lathes require self-centering chucks, not milling machine vices).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a drilling machine vice for?
The BMS 200 mm vice is sized for pillar drills and drilling machines, with reduced weight and T-slots for quick table mounting.
Drilling machine vices are lighter than milling machine vices (less rigidity in the guides, but sufficient for the lower torque of drilling). The BMS series is for drilling machines, quick clamping.
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 200 mm or larger vices.
Which machine is it mounted on?
It is mounted on pillar drills and bench drills 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 fully replaceable. This is an important advantage for long-term maintenance.
Jaws are the wear point of the vice: after thousands of clamps, they may show indentations or deformations. Replacement is self-managed with dedicated fixing 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 parallelism check 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.
