How tight does this clamp? For instance, can you use it like a vise?

Depending on the size of the part that is being held, It can be used as a light duty vise. Otherwise I do not believe it will work like a standard vise.

It's designed to clamp onto a door or dimentional lumber like a 2x4 or 2x8. It would not make a good vise. There are two pads on one side and one small pad on the other that screws in to clamp the door or lumber. It's tight enough to hold up a door or saw lumber. That's about it. Not sure what you're looking to clamp.

I don't know the actual pressure of the clamp, but it is not a vice type device.

Maybe. I've not tried. The clamp opens wide and is strong. The item is well made.

If it is clamped tight enough, it would not fall out. That said, I would re-tighten every time I used it...

Depends on how tight but, it does have some nice attachments.If it' super tight you might want to consider buying a Dremel to get the tight areas - that's what I do.I use both tools. Good luck!

Yes I have done so with a small vise attchd. to a side where it won't hinder it's folding..I never remove it & it works.!!

Hi Nola_Girly. I just measured it to be 0.75" thick, so not a fit for that clamp.

I do not see any reason why it would not work. I have used the unit itself as a vise while I drilled something out and it worked beautifully. Good luck.

This is not meant for that, but I think you can do a few things like pinning the gas block with it. Most things you are going to want to use a bench vise for anyway.

I have built entire lowers using this vise. Just make sure you clamp everything super tight.

About 4.5 inches in both directions. It comes with clamping blocks but no vise. It works well for small jobs as I use it for firearm work. Good Luck! Scott

Yes. It is more of a clamp. But it does work good just be careful when you move it

Not really. The clamp will spread far enough, but the "mating faces" are so far apart, the screw is at too much of an angle to engage the nut.

The clamp is large. The opening measures three and a half inches so 3 inches or less should be fine

The clamp is plastic, and not all that thick. I'm not sure exactly what your set up is, but I'm thinking it will not work how you want it to with out some reinforcing.

Actually, there must be something extraordinary taking place. I am using the clamp as you mentioned and it is a relatively tight fit without a lot of wobble. There is supposed to be a brass/bronze bushing in the hole in the clamp, if it is no there then it would be very wobbly.Hope this helps.

I would assume not as small as you need. I model too and have to use a pin vise. Maybe they make an adapter for the chuck?

I just measured mine, and they open 1 3/4" max. It should just work, although if its a really strong clamp, you might have trouble squeezing it open.
