It's hard to imagine a home workshop without a vice. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to know everything about the grip of "Glazov". But even the products of this reputable company must be selected as carefully and accurately as possible.

Peculiarities

Today the products of this brand remain quite in demand. A vivid confirmation of this is that every month the “Glazov” vice is bought in the amount of 3000 copies. All goods fully comply with carefully developed specifications.

Judging by the reviews of consumers, the vice of the Glazov firm is made of high-quality steel. Even when machining the hardest workpieces, something is more likely to happen to them than to the tool.

Many users do not notice any shortcomings at all . And even criticism in most cases comes down to mentioning the high price. But it's time to move on to considering specific versions of products in more detail.

Types and models

You should start with a locksmith's vice TSS (ТСС) and ТССН … These models are made to hold the blocks to be machined during assembly operations. In the TSSN line, the 63-C variation stands out, the jaws of which open by 63 mm. Other important features of this version:

Their compressive force can reach 3000 kgf. The working area is already 95 mm. The device weighs 14 kg. The slider can move 180 mm.

Deserve attention and vice "TSM-200 ". The letter M in the title denotes modernization. The improvement is manifested in the fact that now it is possible to fix elongated workpieces vertically.

If you have to constantly move the vice, then you need to give preference to light and compact products. It is useful to study and features of the swivel mechanism, its precise characteristics.
