Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation manufactures durable metal bench vises (vices) used in factories and work sites, from casting through machining and assembly.
Description
Bench vise manufacturers are skilled specialists who produce metal vises (vices) for attachment to workbenches or benches. Starting from material selection, they perform casting and rough machining, finishing processes with milling machines and lathes, heat treatment, and surface treatments (painting, plating), then complete the product through thread cutting and assembly. After assembly, they conduct functional tests and load-bearing trials to ensure performance and precision match the design drawings. The work requires operating machine tools and using measuring instruments (calipers, micrometers, height gauges), and also involves quality control and production efficiency improvements.
Future Outlook
Although demand for manual labor is declining due to manufacturing automation and shifts to overseas production, skilled techniques are essential for precision and high-value-added products, requiring skill succession and adaptation to advanced machining technologies.
