How do I adjust the ARROWMAX AM-230682 Mini Bench Vise to drill a hole that is 2-3mm off-center?

The ARROWMAX AM-230682 Mini Double-Sided Bench Vise is specifically designed with a self-centering mechanism. This means that as you turn the adjustment knob, both jaws move simultaneously to automatically align the workpiece with the center of the vise.Because the vise is engineered to keep objects centered, there is no internal adjustment to "offset" the jaws themselves. To drill a hole 2-3mm off-center, you should use one of the following methods:Shift the Vise: Since the vise has a magnetic base, do not center the vise itself under the drill bit. Instead, secure your workpiece in the vise (which will center it relative to the vise body) and then slide the entire vise 2-3mm on your drill press table until the bit aligns with your desired off-center mark.Use Asymmetric Shims: If you must keep the vise stationary, you can place a 2-3mm spacer or shim (such as a small piece of plastic or metal) between the workpiece and only one of the vise jaws. This will force the workpiece to sit off-center relative to the vise's midpoint.Manual Marking: Always mark your drill point with a center punch first. Because the vise is portable and magnetic, it is easier to move the vise to match the drill bit than it is to force the self-centering jaws to hold an object unevenly.
