12.3. Vertical vice for VP bundle cutting
The vertical vice facilitates cutting of materials in bundles. Proper and sufficient clamping of all workpieces in the bundle significantly
influences the service life of the saw blade. The contact pressure plate facilitates vertical clamping of the workpiece. If a larger
bearing surface is required, mount your own fixture of corresponding dimensions onto the contact pressure plate. Make sure that the
guide rods are locked by fixation screws before you start cutting. Check whether the workpiece is properly clamped, otherwise
you risk its ejection during cutting!
Caution! When using the vertical vice while cutting the workpieces in VP bundles, you can do only perpendicular cuts.

The VP packet for one-directional swing saws includes a new movable clamping jaw and also a small clamping jaw that has to be
connected onto a pre-drilled cast iron fixed clamping jaw in front of the cutting line.
The VP packet for bi-directional swing saws includes a new movable clamping jaw and also a small clamping jaw that has to be
connected onto a pre-drilled fixed clamping jaw in front of the cutting line.
When drilling, stabilize the vice, so that the crank does not collide when the arm is travelling upwards or downwards. Longitudinal
rods are usually supplied in three pieces, in order to allow for cutting of a whole range of sections. It is necessary to replace the rod
before cutting in order to prevent collision with the guide head or clamping jaw.
