Jaw width determines the working capacity of the vice. For general workshop and automotive work, 100mm or 125mm jaw width is the standard — handles most fabrication, drilling, and assembly tasks. For heavier engineering and structural work, 150mm or 200mm vices give the additional strength for larger workpieces. For light precision work and small components, 75mm or 100mm is enough. The jaw width is listed on product pages; match it to the largest typical workpiece.

An engineer's bench vice has parallel flat jaws designed to grip square or rectangular workpieces — the standard general-purpose vice. A pipe vice has shaped jaws (often a chain or yoke design) designed to grip round tubing and pipe without crushing it — the standard for plumbing, hydraulic fitting, and tube fabrication. Many engineer's vices have a small pipe-jaw section below the main jaws as a secondary feature, but a dedicated pipe vice handles larger pipe work better.

A swivel-base vice rotates 360 degrees on its mounting plate, allowing the workpiece to be re-aligned without unbolting the vice — a real efficiency gain in jobs requiring access from multiple angles (welding, hand-filing, layout work). Fixed-base vices are more rigid and slightly cheaper but require the workshop layout to accommodate fixed orientation. Most professional workshops choose swivel-base for the main bench vice and accept the marginally lower rigidity.

Yes. Replacement jaw inserts (steel and soft-fibre), lead screws, swivel-base bolts, and handle bars are available for the majority of Sealey, SIP, and Draper bench vices. Match by the original vice model and jaw width. For older or specialist vices, WhatsApp 07754288583 with the model details and a photograph and we will confirm parts availability.

Vice

Within Workshop Tools, Vice covers the workbench-mounted and floor-standing vices used to hold workpieces during cutting, drilling, filing, welding, and assembly work — the foundational tool of any working workshop. Parts For Machines supplies trade-grade engineering vices, fitter's vices, drill-press vices, and pipe vices.

The Vice category covers a range of designs: engineer's bench vices (the classic anvil-backed bench vice, sized by jaw width and capacity), fitter's vices (lighter-duty bench vices for general workshop use), pipe vices (chain or yoke vices designed to grip round pipe without distorting it), drill-press vices (smaller machine vices that bolt to a drill-press table for precise drilling), and woodworking vices (front-mounted cabinet maker's vices and end vices for joinery work). Parts For Machines is an Authorised Distributor and Seller of Sealey, SIP, and Draper across the vice range. The three brands together cover the breadth of trade-grade vices, with Sealey and Draper carrying the deepest selection across engineer's, fitter's, and machine vices.

Product pages list jaw width (the working width of the gripping faces — typical bench vices run 75mm, 100mm, 125mm, 150mm, 200mm), throat depth (the distance from the top of the jaw to the slide bar — limits the height of work that can be held), opening capacity (maximum jaw opening — typical bench vices open to 100-200mm), mounting style (bolt-down or swivel-base), and weight. For pipe vices, the pipe-diameter range is the matching dimension. Vices are professional workshop tools.

Always tighten the workpiece firmly, use soft-jaw inserts on finished surfaces or soft metals, and don't exceed the rated capacity by trying to force the screw beyond the design tightening force. Trade pricing on multi-vice and workshop fit-out orders is available; contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583.
