PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

DSPIAE  |  AT-TVB
360° Rotatable Clamp Base — Base Only
The weighted pedestal that the AT-TVA clamp stands on. No clamp in this box.
⚠️ Read this first — this is a base, not a vise
AT-TVB is the weighted baseplate on its own. There is no clamp in the box. On its own it holds nothing — it is the bottom half of a two-part tool, and the clamp that goes on it is a separate product called AT-TVA.
And if you do not already own the clamp, do not buy the two halves separately. At UK recommended prices the clamp is £36.99 and this base is £19.99, which is £56.98 for the pair. The complete vise — AT-TVA&B — has a recommended price of £49.99. Buying the halves costs you about £7 more for exactly the same tool. Buy the set.
📌 What this actually is

A short, deliberately heavy steel pedestal with four non-slip mats for its underside. The AT-TVA clamp mounts on top of it and rotates and pivots on that mount. That is the entire product.

We are being this blunt for a reason. Every UK listing we can find for this item describes it using the clamp's marketing copy — quick-release clamp heads, 90° folding, modular design, spring-loaded flexibility. A baseplate has no clamp heads and does not fold. If you have been trying to work out what is actually in this box and coming up empty, that is why.

🔧 Why a plain steel lump is worth £20
▪ Mass is the whole function. A vise base does one job: stay put while you push against it. Sanding a part, running a scriber down a panel line or pressing a decal into place all apply sideways force, and a light base slides across the desk instead of resisting. DSPIAE's headline change with this generation was adding weight, and this is the component the weight is in.
▪ Four non-slip mats, and they matter more than they look. Steel on a wooden desk still slides. The mats are what convert the pedestal's weight into actual grip. If yours have hardened, gone shiny or fallen off, the vise will feel far worse than it did new — and that alone is a fair reason to be on this page.
▪ It is the half that does not wear out. The clamp has springs, removable rods, silicone tubing and pads — things that perish, bend and get lost. The base has none of that. If your base still sits flat and does not slide, you do not need a new one, and we would rather say so.
🤔 Who this is for
▪ You bought AT-TVA and discovered it has no base. This happens often, and it is not your fault — the clamp is widely sold with photography and copy that make it look like a complete vise. This is the part you are missing, and buying it is cheaper than starting again.
▪ You want a second station. If you already run two clamps, a second base lets both sit ready on the bench rather than swapping one clamp back and forth.
▪ Your mats have perished or your pedestal is damaged. The genuine replacement case, and the least common one.
Straight answer: if none of those describe you, buy something else. No clamp yet? The AT-TVA&B set is the complete tool and costs less than the halves. Just want something to hold a part while you work on it? Look at the AT-MV or the AT-HV — both cost less than this base does and both work the moment you open them.

You will see 574 g and 90 × 65 × 69 mm quoted against this product elsewhere. Those are DSPIAE's published figures for the clamp and base assembled together. No separate weight or dimensions are published for the base alone, so we are not going to estimate them for you. The same goes for the 43 mm and 30 mm capacities and the 14 rod slots — all of those describe the AT-TVA clamp, not this.
🔒 Which one do you need?

AT-SV87 mm spherical vise, 1.6 kg. Busts and large assemblies
💡 Getting the most out of it
Clean the desk and the mat faces before fitting. Sanding dust between rubber and wood is exactly what makes a base creep. Two minutes with a damp cloth is worth more than the weight of the pedestal.
Do not overload it. DSPIAE warns against clamping anything heavier than the vise itself, or the whole assembly tips. Parts and sub-assemblies, not finished kits.
Push down, not sideways. When you are sanding or scribing, angle the work so your force goes into the desk rather than across it. The base resists downward load far better than lateral shove, and this is a technique thing rather than a tool thing.
Keep it away from harsh chemicals. DSPIAE specifically flags acids and alkalis as causing discolouration. Ordinary thinners and cleaners in normal use are not a problem.
⚖️ Honest limitations
It has no clamp and holds nothing. Said at the top, said in the box list, said again here, because it is the only thing on this page that can genuinely cost someone money.
The halves cost more than the set. £36.99 plus £19.99 against £49.99 at UK recommended prices. If you need both, this is the wrong page.
It fits the AT-TVA clamp. DSPIAE replaced an earlier generation, the AT-TV, and does not document whether this base accepts that older clamp. If that is what you own, ask us before ordering rather than hoping.
No published weight, size or full material list for the base alone. Everything in circulation describes the assembled vise. We would rather leave gaps in a spec table than fill them with guesses.
Nothing on it wears out. If your existing base sits flat and grips, replacing it will change nothing about how your vise performs.
Not a tool for children. DSPIAE states the vise is not for use by anyone under 14.
