Ajay Manufacturing Company - Bench Vise & Lubricant Equipment

A bench vice or a vise, as it’s sometimes referred to, is an integral tool used in metalworking, woodworking, and some other manufacturing applications. It’s mounted on workbenches and its main function is to hold the workpiece safely and securely. But how do you use this tool? Well, I’ll show you. Let’s get started! To begin with, let’s discuss the basics of this tool – you know, why we need it in the first place. Introduction: Why Use a Vise? A vise is an essential tool for woodworking. It's ideal for securing large or small pieces of material while you use your saw, plane, or chisel to shape them. In fact, many woodworkers choose to have at least two vises: one mounted on their workbench (which they use every time they work) and another that's portable. A bench vice is much stronger than its portable counterpart because it's anchored into your benchtop. When shopping for a vice, you'll notice there are several different types of construction materials used to ...

Anvils have been used in metalworking for a long time. But before the invention of anvils, workpieces were shaped by hammering against a stone. Anvils are still popular because they're useful for shaping metal and can withstand much more force than a stone can. A Brief Background on Anvils An anvil is the most important tool in a metalworker's arsenal. It is often used to shape hot metal and forge items. And it is not just for blacksmiths, either. For centuries, anvils were used to create objects such as pots, pans, weapons, tools, and household items. However, as technology advanced, these items were made using more efficient methods. Eventually this led to the decline in popularity of the traditional anvil. The Role of an Anvil in Metalworking An anvil is a large, heavy block of metal that is shaped to produce a flat surface. Originally they were made of stone, but more commonly they are made of steel these days. They are used in many trades and industries, but most commonly ...

Blacksmith Anvil is a large and heavy-weight metallic block used for metalworking. These Anvils are made up of special graded cast iron. Anvil tools are used for making tools or project that falls in the category of metalworking like chains, knives, blades, and many more. There are different parts of anvil used for different purposes: 1. The face of the anvil 2. The horn of the anvil 3. The Table of the anvil 4. The Hardie Hole 5. The Pritchel Hole Each of these anvil tool parts plays an important role, which we have described in the following section: 1. Face of Anvil: The face of the anvil is the primary surface where most of the work is done, which is located on the top of its structure. It is used to shape different metals by striking with the hammer. It resists most of the load and pressure when the hammer is striking on it. It is usually made up of high-quality material because it has to handle high pressure. 2. The horn of the Anvil: For bending the ...
