Any-Angle Machine Vises

Tilt the head on two axes and rotate the base to position your workpiece at almost any angle. These vises are used on Bridgeport-style milling machines and drill presses.

Pivoting-Head Drill-Press Vises

With Fixed Base

With Swivel Base

Hold work at any angle up to 90°. Loosen the nuts on either side of the vise to tilt and adjust the angle; tighten to lock in place. Mount these vises directly to your drill press for drilling, tapping, and reaming applications. They have one smooth jaw and one grooved jaw for clamping flat, round, and uneven workpieces. Turn the threaded main screw to move the jaw.

Vises with swivel base rotate 360° and can be locked in place.

Tilting-Head Bench Vises

The head tilts, rotates, and locks in place to hold work at an angle.

Bolt-on with 1 1/2" jaw width vise has grooved jaws for clamping round and uneven workpieces.

Bolt-on with 2 1/2" jaw width vise can be mounted temporarily using a clamp-on base (sold separately).

Suction-mount vise attaches to smooth surfaces. Use the lever to engage and disengage the rubber suction pad.

Extra-Wide-Opening Tilting-Head Bench Vises

6" Max. Jaw Opening

9" Max. Jaw Opening

For large workpieces, these vises open three times as wide as standard tilting-head vises. The head tilts, rotates, and locks in place to hold your work at an angle. Vises have one smooth jaw and one grooved jaw for clamping flat, round, and uneven workpieces. The 5-lb. weighted base is heavy enough to keep the vise in place but light enough to be portable. For temporary mounting, add a clamp-on base (sold separately).

Vise with self-centering jaws has jaws that move at the same time to keep parts in the center of the vise.

Rotating-Head Bench Vises

V Jaws

Rotate the head 360° to use three different vise jaws and lock workpieces in position at 45° intervals. The base also swivels 360° to move the entire vise and can be locked in place. In addition to flat jaws, these vises have two sets of V jaws (also known as pipe jaws) that securely grip pipe and other round objects.

Sine Vises

Shown with Gauge Block (Not Included)

Lift the end of these sine vises by placing gauge blocks underneath—they hold tools and workpieces at precise angles for grinding, cutting, and inspecting. To determine how high to raise the end, multiply the sine of your desired angle by the distance between the vise’s dowels, which is the hypotenuse. They have a locking bar you tighten with a 5/32" hex key (not included) to secure the angle. Mount them to your work surface, or when you need to cut material on a compound angle, to a sine plate.

To grip workpieces—even small round parts such as pins and dowels—these sine vises have a jaw with horizontal and vertical V-shaped grooves. Adjust the jaw to workpieces of different sizes by loosening its screw with a 1/4" hex key (not included), sliding the jaw into position, and tightening the screw for a firm grip.
