Description

WILTON 3" Machinist Vise - WL9-28830

Proudly made in the USA, the Machinist round channel vise is designed to handle the most demanding clamping applications. Unlike most vises that have a fixed center nut, the Machinist vise vise nut is anchored at the rear which provides straight line pull and even pressure resulting in greater durability. The round channel design also allows for a completely enclosed spindle and nut assembly keeping debris out and lubrication in for a lifetime of smooth operation. The Machinist vise is also equipped with main jaws and a machined anvil work surface.

Features
  • Hardened steel replaceable jaw inserts are machine serrated for a safe and secure grip under maximum torque.
  • Large anvil designed to take a beating while forming and shaping materials.
  • Locking swivel base with double lockdowns for non-slip hold in any position.
  • Longer spindle nut ensures smooth movement and a stronger straight-line pull.
  • Massive cast iron vise body is virtually indestructible, weighing up to 30% more than competing models.
  • Precision slide bar eliminates movement in the front jaw regardless of opened distance.
  • Sealed construction keeps lubrication in and contaminants out for a lifetime of smooth operation.
