Types of Fibre Jaw

We manufacture two different types of Fibre Jaw, the difference being the material used to produce the metal frame and the design of the ‘Tabs’.

Single Tab

Manufactured from sturdy 1.2mm aluminium frames, these jaws are best used where the following factors are preferred:

Working environment constraints:

Non ferrous material
Low-Spark
Corrosion Resistant

Ease of installation/removal

Single Tab frames are easier to attach and remove

Double Tab

Manufactured from structural grade steel, the Double Tab jaws have the following advantages:

Firm Attachment to Vice

Additional tabs ensure the jaws remain in place during fitting/bench work.

Heavier Duty

Made from structural grade steel, the Double Tab jaws are better suited to heavier duty applications.

Materials

Frames

We manufacture our Fibre jaws with frames made from Aluminium or Steel. All frames are CNC profiled and pressed, not stamped.

Fibre Pads

All our fibre jaws are made with the same Fibre material, which is specifically produced for us, for our Fibre Jaws. The fibre material is.

Vulcanised Fibre Composition

A very strong, laminated composite (NOT PLASTIC)

Chemically resistant, to:

Oil and Greases
Water Resistant
Solvent, Petrols and Mineral based spirits.

Heat and Flame Resistant

Unlike 'plastic' jaws, the material will withstand exposure to heat and flame.

Stress Tested

We test our fibre material to ensure it stacks up to our expectations. The images below show sample materials undergoing stress testing

Oil Based Test

The sample below was submerged in an oil solution for 7 days. No delamination was observed and the material remained serviceable, maintaining its core material properties

Solvent Based Test

The sample below was submerged in a solvent solution for 24 hrs. No delamination was observed and the material remained serviceable, maintaining its core material properties

All other Vice brands

We also list our fibre jaws by the nominal width of the Vice they are to be used on. So, if your vice has 5 1/4 inch standard jaws, you should purchase a set of 5 1/4 inch fibre jaws

How will our Fibre Jaws be supplied?

Our jaws are supplied ready to fit, only requiring the end tabs to be bent around the ends of your vice. This ensures the jaws will fit to your specific casting.
