VICE CLAMPS
Vice clamps are accessories for the vice: they are small plates, generally made of soft Metal — Brass, Copper, lead — or plastic material, which is inserted between the jaws of the Vice and the piece to be held. Their role is to protect the fragile or finished surfaces of components against the marks, scratches and imprints that the hard, ridged jaws of an ordinary Vice would leave. In watchmaking and precision trades, where the surface condition of a piece is paramount, Vice clamps are essential for clamping a Case, a Case back or a decorated component without compromising its finishes. Conforming to the shape of the piece, they also distribute the clamping pressure and limit the risk of deformation. Removable, they come in flat, V-shaped or profiled forms depending on needs. Simple in appearance, this accessory reflects the constant care given to preserving surfaces.
