Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Kurt vise. You have just purchased one of
the best machine vises in the industry. The Versatile Lock 3600-Series
AngLock vise has a time proven design. The outstanding accuracy
of this product is second to none. Backed by a lifetime warranty, this
product will last forever when used and maintained properly.
The original Kurt Anglock vises are designed for precision clamping.
The“Pull-type”action of the 3600 Versatile Lock design reduces jaw
stationary deection by at least 80%. This vise has a one-piece body
and stationary jaw design which reduce weight and increases strength
while providing .0005 clamping repeatability. It oers ultra-high
precision through many important features. Features include: Ground
sides that allow side mounting, upright and back to back mounting,
using the body through holes allows side by side mounting.
With twelve dierent models ranging from standard lengths to short
lengths, forward to reverse and hydraulic to air this series of vises are
truly versatile. The short reverse conguration has the added benet
of easier programming by reducing the “reach-over” distance in the“Y”
axis. This makes it safer and easier for the operator.
The patented Anglock design allows the movable jaw to advance in
such a way that each pound of force forward induces a ½ pound force
downward which minimizes the jaw lift and increases accuracy. This
combined with the needle bearings increases jaw clamping pressure.
Other features include: 80,000 psi ductile iron body, hardened vise bed
& jaw plates, semi-hard steel screw.
Introduction

4ENGLISH | Set-Up Instructions
Set-up Instructions
Now that you have your new Kurt 3600-Series vise, it’s time to set-
up and begin using it. You will see that your new vise comes with a
Kurt swivel handle, two chip guards (short & long) and an instruction
manual along with the O-ring installation guide supplied in the
shipping carton. The chip guard rests between the ways of the vise and
can be trimmed to size to help keep the chips out of the screw. The
handle is specically designed to provide maximum torque to your
vise. Your vise should be mounted to a clean at surface. The surface
and the vise must be free of any chips, dirt or debris of any kind. The
mounting surface can be honed if necessary. Clean the bottom of the
vise with solvent or other cleaner if needed. Air activated vises require
shop air power. Air lter/lubricator required.
To minimize vise bed deection, clamp your Kurt vise to your machine
table, pallet, or sub-plate using the built-in clamping slots provided.
To access the through holes, simply pick the edge of the protective
cap up and expose the C’ bored hole. Replace the cap after you have
mounted the vise to keep debris out of the holes. If you are mounting
the vise on it’s side or back to back, other clamping methods may be
required.
Additional clamping can be used, but may not be necessary. Please
be sure to exercise good judgment when securing your vise to the
mounting surface. Be sure your vise is secured and will not move when
applying the machine pressure.

5ENGLISH | Operating Instructions
Operating Instructions
For proper vise operation insert the handle on to the hex end of the
vise. Rotate clockwise to clamp and counterclockwise to unclamp your
vise. This handle combined with the correct amount of torque will
provide you with all the clamping force you will need to machine your
parts. A high quality calibrated torque wrench can be used if needed.
DO NOT use any other type of pressure to open or close your vise.
The uses of handle extensions, air impact wrenches, breaker
bars or hammer strikes are not recommended and will void the
warranty if used. This will also cause damage to the thrust bearing
and screw threads. If you need more clamping force you may need to
upgrade the vise to a larger one.
To properly clamp a part in your Kurt vise you should place the part in
the center of the jaws resting on the ways of the vise. Clamping only
on one side or above the movable and stationary jaws can result in jaw
lift or loss of accuracy. (See Fig. 1 on next page)
If one-sided clamping is necessary you MUST use a dummy part on
the other side. When using parallels or step jaws you must select a size
that keeps the bottom of the clamped part at or below the top of the
movable and stationary jaws. Always use jaw plates for clamping. If jaw
plates are not used damage to the mounting surface of the movable
and stationary jaw will occur. This will result in reduced clamping
accuracy and repeatability.

7ENGLISH | D40 Parts List
Proper O-Ring installation and usage
Proper Chip Guard installation and usage
Most jobs require a tight contact between the workpiece and the
parallels (see above). This option oered by Kurt Manufacturing
Company is ideal for that. The O-Ring installation will provide for the
movement needed when working with parallels.
Note: We do not recommend using this option with step jaws.
Installation: Install the O-Ring in the movable jaw as shown above in
two places. Tighten the adjustment set screw for a .002”space under
the front face of the movable jaw, then the jaw will tighten down
during clamping and provide down movement, pulling the part onto
the supporting parallel.
Example: Part plus 1 1/2 inches = Length of Chip Guard stock.
Note: Remove Chip Guard stock to lift vise. Corners of Chip Guard
stock if left extended as shown above could cause injury.
CAUTION:
Chip Guard stock shown above is provided to keep chips
from the nut and screw assembly and must be cut and
deburred to meet your application and safety needs.
*This Chip Guard stock should be cuto to ll the opening
between jaw plates.
