At Guru Nanak Machine Tools, we manufacture a comprehensive range of high‑precision industrial vices and workholding solutions designed to deliver unmatched clamping force, rigidity, and accuracy for machining operations. Our product portfolio includes mechanical vices, hydraulic vices, pneumatic vices, self‑centering vices, angle vices, and modular workholding systems – all engineered to withstand the toughest milling, drilling, and grinding applications. Whether you are working on heavy‑duty roughing or high‑precision finishing, our vices ensure secure part holding, minimal deflection, and repeatable positioning – helping you achieve tighter tolerances and superior surface finishes with every setup.
With decades of experience in workholding technology, we focus on robust design, precision grinding of bearing surfaces, and high‑grade material selection. Our vices are manufactured from premium ductile iron or hardened alloy steel, stress‑relieved and precision‑machined to deliver exceptional rigidity, wear resistance, and clamping stability – empowering your machining processes to run faster, with less vibration and greater productivity.
Why choose Guru Nanak Industrial Vices
Every vice we produce undergoes stringent quality control and is backed by our commitment to precision engineering. From standard fixed‑base vices to customised multi‑axis workholding solutions, our products provide the reliability and performance that machine shops, toolrooms, and production floors depend on.
high clamping force & rigidity
Our vices feature precision‑ground jaws, hardened guideways, and heavy‑duty screw or hydraulic mechanisms – delivering consistent clamping force up to several tons with minimal deflection under heavy cuts.
accuracy & repeatability
Manufactured with tight tolerances and stress‑relieved bodies, our vices ensure parallelity and squareness within 0.01 mm, enabling precise part positioning and zero‑point repeatability for multi‑operation setups.
versatile configurations
Available in a variety of jaw widths (100–300 mm), opening capacities, and mounting styles – including fixed, swivel, and hydraulic‑powered – our vices fit most milling machines, VMCs, and grinding machines.
durability & corrosion resistance
All surfaces are hardened, ground, and treated with anti‑rust coatings to withstand coolant, chips, and heavy usage – ensuring long service life and stable performance even in high‑production environments.
Advanced workholding technology
Our manufacturing processes incorporate state‑of‑the‑art CNC machining, surface grinding, and laser alignment to achieve the highest levels of flatness, squareness, and jaw parallelism. From quick‑change jaw systems for reduced setup times to hydraulic intensifiers for high‑pressure clamping, we offer features that boost productivity, reduce downtime, and improve overall machining economics.

Frequently asked questions
We offer a complete range including mechanical vices (fixed and swivel base), hydraulic vices, pneumatic vices, self‑centering vices, angle vices, and modular workholding systems. Custom jaw widths, openings, and special clamping configurations are also available upon request.
Our quality process includes surface plate inspection, laser interferometer alignment, jaw parallelism testing, and clamping force verification – ensuring every vice meets or exceeds DIN/ISO standards for flatness, squareness, and repeatability.
Absolutely. We provide custom jaw widths, extended openings, special jaw materials (brass, copper, aluminium), custom mounting hole patterns, and even multi‑vice pallet systems – all engineered to your specific part geometries and machine table configurations.
Yes. Our vices are designed with heavy‑duty construction, hardened guideways, and robust clamping mechanisms that withstand high cutting forces and vibrations. Hydraulic versions offer consistent pressure even under fluctuating loads, ensuring stable workholding at high spindle speeds.
We offer comprehensive application support – from jaw selection and clamping force calculations, to hydraulic pressure settings, fixture design, and maintenance recommendations – ensuring you achieve optimal part stability and machining efficiency.
