Who is the BMH 125 Drilling Machine Vise for
The BMH 125 drilling machine vise 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: Fast and repeatable clamping for production cycles.
Not suitable for: turning cylindrical workpieces (lathes require self-centering chucks, not milling vises).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a drill press vise used for?
The 125 mm BMH vise is sized for drill presses and drilling machines, with reduced weight and T-slots for quick attachment to the table.
Drill press vises are lighter than milling vises (less rigidity in the guides, but sufficient for the lower torque of drilling). The BMH series is for drilling machines, high strength.
What does the 125 mm size indicate?
It indicates the jaw width (125 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 125 mm or larger vises.
On which machine is it mounted?
It is 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 vises (PS, KV, PHV), not drilling machines.
Are the jaws replaceable?
Yes, the jaws are hardened, ground, and fully replaceable. This is an important advantage for long-term maintenance.
The jaws are the wear point of the vise: after thousands of clamps, they may show nicks or deformations. Replacement is autonomous with the dedicated fixing screws. Krollit supplies 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 vise at the end of the shift to prevent rust on ground parts. Acceptable parallelism tolerance: 0.02-0.05 mm over the length.
