A Stable, Non-Marring Workholding System for Clean, Accurate Results
Take control of your bench projects with the Berry’s Machine Vise System (Black/Blue). Purpose-built for precision workholding, this vise delivers stable, finish-safe clamping for gunsmithing, reloading, optics setup, and general shop tasks. The wide base, smooth lead screw, and non-marring, chemical-resistant pads hold receivers, barrels, stocks, small parts, jigs, and fixtures securely—so you can torque, file, drill, or clean with confidence.
From mounting scopes to fitting accessories, polishing components, or handling delicate wood and coated parts, Model 11817 offers the balance of rigidity, reach, and finish protection you need to work faster—and with greater precision.

Why Choose Berry’s Machine Vise System?
Precision Workholding, Minimal Slip
Parallel jaws and a smooth, positive lead screw create repeatable clamping pressure across the workpiece. That means fewer re-sets and tighter tolerances when you’re leveling optics, stoning sears, or staking parts.
Finish-Safe, Non-Marring Pads
The contact surfaces are engineered to protect wood, polymer, and coated metals (Cerakote®/anodized finishes), helping prevent scratches and clamp marks during delicate operations.
Solvent & Oil Resistant
Designed for real bench work, the vise resists CLP, bore solvents, and shop oils. Wipe it down and keep moving between cleaning and assembly tasks.
Wide, Stable Footprint
A broad base and non-slip feet help tame vibration and “bench bounce” while you torque ring screws, drift pins, or run taps—improving accuracy and reducing rework.
Open-Access Geometry
Thoughtful clearances around the jaws let you route bore guides, drivers, and bits without cramped angles—ideal for scope leveling, trigger work, and small-part assembly.

Setup & Use (Quick Guide)
Verify Safe & Clear (Firearms): Remove magazine; visually/physically check the chamber.
Prepare the Jaw Pads: Ensure pads are clean and debris-free to protect finishes.
Position the Workpiece: Center the part between the jaws; add a protective shim if needed.
Apply Clamping Pressure: Turn the lead screw until firm—snug, not crushing—especially for wood and polymer.
Do the Work: Torque, level, drift, file, or clean with full access around the part.
Clean Up: Wipe solvents/oils and store dry for long pad life.
Pro Tip: When leveling optics, place a bubble/precision level on both base and turret, then torque rings to spec in cross-pattern increments.
Care & Maintenance
Keep Pads Clean: Grit on pads can mar finishes—wipe regularly.
Solvent Wipe-Down: Remove CLP/solvent residue to preserve surfaces.
Inspect Feet & Hardware: Replace worn feet; ensure hardware remains tight.
Store Dry & Covered: Extends pad life and keeps dust off precision surfaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the vise scratch wood stocks or Cerakote?
A: The vise uses finish-safe, non-marring pads. Keep pads clean and use light, even clamping pressure.
Q: Is it stable enough for torquing scope rings and bases?
A: Yes—the wide base and non-slip feet are designed to handle common optics torque values. Always follow the ring/base manufacturer’s specifications.
Q: Can it hold AR-pattern rifles and small parts?
A: Absolutely. The geometry accommodates modern sporting rifles, bolt guns, and small fixtures used for pins and subassemblies.
Q: Will solvents degrade the pads?
A: Pads and surfaces are resistant to common oils and cleaners. Wipe down after use to maximize service life.

Responsible Use Reminder
Always unload and verify any firearm before clamping. Apply only the clamping force necessary to secure the workpiece, protect finishes with clean pads/shims, and follow torque specs from part manufacturers. Practice safe shop procedures at all times.
