1058 forum posts 16 photos | That image of the DH-1 vice is in a 'non normal' configuration. I've never mounted a jaw on both ends of the moving slide at the same time, As Mike has stated, the vice is capable of holding a workpiece that is slightly larger than the vice itself. As with Balljoint, mine measures 178mm between the jaws. It's easy enough to make additional clamping aids and I have a coupe of extension sets that will allow me to hold a part that is around 350mm diameter. All in all this is a very versatile vice. Your A and B measurements are similar to mine (only a quick check with a rule as it''s too damn cold to be out in the workshop. |

Use a couple of simple purpose made clamps as shown in my photo above. Russell
Any chance you can give the dimensions of the clamp you use please |
