FAQ – frequently asked questions
Yes, the fixed jaw can be positioned individually on the base body. This ensures optimal accessibility to the workpiece.
The preloaded system on the K5 significantly increases clamping stiffness.
This prevents vibrations and improves accuracy.
No, the K5 is supplied with one long and one short spindle.
These can be easily swapped depending on the clamping range.
Using a hex key, an indexing pin can lock or unlock the K5 jaw on the indexing rail at the desired clamping width.
Workpieces can be clamped on the machine vise using a torque wrench and the supplied hex socket key.
These are spring-loaded pressure points. Our Kesel step ledges (support ledges) can be clicked into these.
