Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Kurt vise. You have just purchased one of the best machine vises in the industry. The Versatile Lock 3600-Series AngLock vise has a time proven design. The outstanding accuracy of this product is second to none. Backed by a lifetime warranty, this product will last forever when used and maintained properly.
Set-up Instructions Now that you have your new Kurt 3600-Series vise, it’s time to set- up and begin using it. You will see that your new vise comes with a Kurt swivel handle, two chip guards (short & long) and an instruction manual along with the O-ring installation guide supplied in the shipping carton.
If you need more clamping force you may need to upgrade the vise to a larger one. To properly clamp a part in your Kurt vise you should place the part in the center of the jaws resting on the ways of the vise. Clamping only on one side or above the movable and stationary jaws can result in jaw lift or loss of accuracy.

Proper O-Ring installation and usage Most jobs require a tight contact between the workpiece and the parallels (see above). This option offered by Kurt Manufacturing Company is ideal for that. The O-Ring installation will provide for the movement needed when working with parallels.
