Frequently asked questions
Common questions about KANCA from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the KANCA combination bench and pipe vise models?
KANCA combination vises differ primarily in jaw face width, maximum jaw opening, and throat depth. For example, the KADPLSB-100 has a 4-inch jaw width and 4-1/2-inch opening, while the KADPLSB-200 has an 8-inch jaw width and 8-inch opening. Throat depth ranges from 2-1/2 inches on smaller models to 4 inches on the largest. All models are steel construction with bolt-down mounting and combine flat-jaw and pipe-gripping functions. Selection depends on the size of workpieces and the required clamping capacity for the workstation.
What materials can KANCA combination vises hold?
KANCA combination vises are designed to clamp flat workpieces, square and rectangular stock, and cylindrical objects such as pipe, tube, and round bar. The combination design incorporates both a flat-jaw section for bench work and a pipe-gripping section for cylindrical items. Models with serrated jaws, such as the KADPLSB-200, provide additional grip on harder materials. The steel body and bolt-down mounting allow the vise to be used in metalworking, fabrication, maintenance, and assembly tasks where stable workholding is required.
How do I choose the right KANCA vise for my bench?
Match the vise's jaw face width, maximum jaw opening, and throat depth to the workpieces you need to hold. Jaw face width determines the contact area for flat stock; maximum jaw opening sets the largest diameter or width that can be clamped; throat depth affects how far the workpiece can extend below the jaw. Also consider available bench space and mounting hole pattern. KANCA models range from 4-inch to 8-inch jaw widths, so a smaller vise suits light bench work, while a larger model handles heavier fabrication. 3G Electric lists these specifications per SKU for direct comparison.
Are KANCA combination vises suitable for pipe work?
Yes. KANCA combination vises include a pipe-gripping section in addition to the flat jaws. This allows the same vise to hold pipe, tube, and round bar for cutting, threading, or assembly operations. The pipe capacity is generally related to the maximum jaw opening and the design of the pipe jaws. For example, models with a 6-inch or larger opening can accommodate larger pipe diameters. The bolt-down mounting ensures stability during pipe work, which is important when applying torque to threaded connections or cutting operations.
What is the mounting method for KANCA bench and pipe vises?
KANCA combination vises use a bolt-down mounting configuration. This means the vise base has holes or slots for bolts to secure it to a workbench or mounting plate. Bolt-down mounting provides a rigid, permanent installation that resists movement during clamping and work operations. It is the standard method for bench vises in industrial, workshop, and maintenance environments. The specific bolt size and hole spacing vary by model, so refer to the individual SKU specifications or contact 3G Electric for mounting dimensions.
Does 3G Electric stock KANCA combination vises for global delivery?
3G Electric supplies KANCA combination bench and pipe vises with global logistics support. Multiple SKUs are listed in the catalog, including models with jaw widths from 4 inches to 8 inches. Each product entry includes specifications such as jaw face width, maximum jaw opening, throat depth, and manufacturer part number. Technical buyers can compare models and request a quote directly. Availability and lead times vary by SKU, so confirm current stock status when placing an order.
