SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
Now that you have your new Kurt Vise, it’s time to set-up and begin using
it. You will see that your new vise comes with a Kurt swivel handle. The
handle is specifically designed to provide maximum torque to your vise
(clamping force provided below). Your vise should be mounted to a clean,
flat 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 another cleaner if needed.
To minimize vise bed deflection, clamp your Kurt vise to your machine
table, pallet, or sub-plate using the built-in clamping slots or through the
body holes provided.
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
cutting pressure.
