The Irwin Record V175B Woodcraft Vice is designed for woodworkers and craftspeople who need a stable, permanently fixed vice for demanding tasks. Its key benefit is a robust construction with a smooth, strong action thanks to its rolled 2-start acme thread screw. A potential caveat for some users might be its permanent mounting requirement, making it less suitable for portable setups.

This vice is designed for woodworking tasks, providing a stable and secure way to hold wood for cutting, shaping, joining, and finishing.
You will need to securely bolt or screw the vice to a sturdy workbench through its pre-drilled mounting holes. Ensure the workbench surface is strong and level.
This type of thread allows for quicker opening and closing of the jaws compared to a single-start thread, while still providing a smooth and strong clamping action.
While it can grip metal items, it is specifically designed and optimized for woodworking. For heavy-duty metalworking, a dedicated metalworking vice would be more appropriate.
The product description specifies a jaw width of 175mm (7 inches) and a jaw opening of 165mm (6.5 inches). Specific overall dimensions would require consulting a technical drawing or product manual.
Keep the screw and nut clean, and apply a light oil or wax to the screw threads periodically to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
Clean the screw threads and guide nut. Apply a light machine oil or wax to the screw threads and work the vice back and forth several times.
Check for any debris or obstruction between the jaws or on the mounting surface. Ensure the vice is securely mounted to a flat surface. Minor adjustments may be possible by checking the mounting points.
Ensure the vice is properly secured to a sufficiently strong workbench. Reduce the clamping force if you are experiencing excessive flex or deformation.
Setup:
This vice is designed for permanent installation. It should be securely mounted to a sturdy workbench or a dedicated mounting plate using appropriate screws or bolts through the pre-drilled holes in its base. Ensure the mounting surface is level and capable of withstanding the forces applied during use.
Compatibility:
The Irwin Record V175B is primarily designed for woodworking applications. Its jaw surfaces are typically flat and may be equipped with dog holes or other features suitable for timber. While it can hold other materials, it is not optimized for precise metalworking or high-force applications outside of woodworking.
