Product Information
Full details
The Clarke Drill Press Vice 125mm is an essential workholding solution for machinists and hobbyists who require precise, secure stability for drilling or light benchtop tasks. Designed to integrate seamlessly with drill presses, this robust tool ensures your workpiece remains immovable during operation. While it provides excellent clamping force for a wide array of projects, users should note that its substantial weight and size mean it is best suited for larger drill press tables rather than portable or lightweight stands.

FAQs
Will this fit a drill press other than Clarke?
While designed for Clarke drill presses like the CDP201B, it can fit any drill press with compatible T-slot dimensions, provided the table size is large enough to support the vice footprint.
Can I use this for wood projects?
Yes, it is suitable for woodworking projects, though you may want to use soft wood or rubber jaw covers to prevent the metal teeth from marring your workpiece.
What is the maximum capacity of the jaws?
The vice has a maximum opening capacity of 125mm.
How do I secure the vice to the drill press?
Use standard T-bolts and nuts that fit your specific drill press table T-slots, passing them through the slots in the base of the vice.
Is this vice suitable for heavy-duty metal fabrication?
Yes, its robust construction is intended for standard workshop and metalwork duties, including drilling and light fabrication.
Troubleshooting
Vice jaws are sticking or difficult to open
Clean the lead screw of any accumulated metal dust or debris and apply a fresh layer of machine oil.
Vice moves on the drill press table during use
Ensure the T-bolts are tightened securely and that the vice is correctly aligned within the table slots to prevent shifting.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Generous 125mm jaw opening handles large projects
- Sturdy build quality ensures long-term reliability
- Highly compatible with standard Clarke drill press models
- Dual-purpose utility as a bench vice
- Provides essential safety by keeping hands away from the cutting area

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, align the base slots of the vice with the T-slots on your drill press table. Secure the vice using suitable T-bolts and washers to ensure no sliding occurs during high-pressure drilling. This model is compatible with the Clarke CDP201B drill press and larger variants in the Clarke lineup. To maintain the tool, keep the lead screw threaded areas free of metal shavings and dust. Periodically apply a light machine oil to the screw threads and sliding surfaces to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion.
