DESCRIPTION
Palmgren Milling Machine Vises are assembled in the U.S.,
and are constructed from fine grain cast iron with
replaceable steel jaw plates. Lead screws on all models have
a rugged Acme thread. Models 9618402 & 9618602 have a
360° swivel base indicated in 1° increments. Center of base is
open for holding work through body of vise. Base and bed
are parallel to 0.001” on all vises.
•Understand and obey all safety instructions supplied
with drill press, mill or other machines on which vise is
used.
•Bolt or clamp vise to work surface in at least two mount-
ing locations using mounting lugs on swivel base or vise
base.
•Be sure workpiece is clamped securely between jaws
before starting machining operation.
•Do not over tighten—vise can develop a large clamping
force. Use only force which is needed.
•Do not pound or hammer on workpiece. This vise is
designed to clamp the workpiece in a desired position
for machining operations only.

MAINTENANCE
Particles of metal or wood can damage machined surfaces,
causing difficult or inaccurate operation.
•The vise is shipped with a protective coating. This coating
should be removed before operation. Use penetrating oil
to remove protective coating.
•Keep machined surfaces and all moving parts clean and
free of dirt, chips and foreign materials.
