Who the BMS 200 QC Industrial Drilling Machine Vice is for
The BMS 200 QC industrial drilling machine vice is recommended for the following professional profiles:
-
Mechanical workshops and milling operators: secure clamping of workpieces during milling and drilling on machine tools.
-
Production departments with series processing: quick 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 BMS 200 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 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 practical rule, the jaw width should be at least 70% of the size of the workpiece. For pieces >100 mm, choose vices 200 mm or larger.
Which machine is it mounted on?
It is mounted on pillar drills and benchtop 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 for 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 vice: after thousands of clamps, they may show indentations or deformations. Replacement is autonomous with dedicated fastening 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 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.
