The dials on these vises are graduated in smaller increments than standard cross-slide drill-press vises for finer adjustment. Turn the handles on the base to precisely position work on X and Y axes for drilling, tapping, and reaming applications. Turn the threaded main screw to move the jaw. Vises mount directly to your drill press.

The base and three sides of the vise are ground flat, enabling mounting on its base, either side, or upright. Secure directly to your drill press with setup clamps (not included) for drilling, tapping, and reaming applications. Vises have one smooth jaw and one grooved jaw for clamping flat, round, and uneven workpieces. Turn the threaded main screw to move the jaw. The open base allows you to drill through the workpiece without hitting the bottom of the vise.

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.

Our basic machine vises, these are used on Bridgeport-style milling machines as well as drill presses and surface grinders.

Vises with smooth and grooved jaws have one smooth jaw and one grooved jaw for clamping flat, round, and uneven workpieces.

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.

The jaws move inward at the same time to consistently position your workpiece in the center of the vise. These vises are used on Bridgeport-style milling machines and drill presses. The base swivels 360° and locks in place.

Compressed air controlled by a foot pedal allows hands-free operation. Step on the pedal to instantly close the moving jaw; step again to release it. Use these vises in production applications with frequent insertion and removal of workpieces on Bridgeport-style milling machines and drill presses. Vises with a jaw height of 1 1/4", 1 5/16", and 2 1/2" can also be used on surface grinders.

To calculate the gripping force on your workpiece, multiply your inlet air pressure by the gripping force factor. Add an air regulator to control force.

Single-acting vises require the jaw to be manually set to the desired position before use, so these vises are best for repetitive clamping of consistent workpiece sizes. Once the jaw is set, activating the air pressure will move the jaw up to 5/8" to clamp. When air pressure is released, a spring return inside the air cylinder returns the jaw to the set position.

Double-acting vises use air pressure to open and close the jaws without manual adjustment, making these vises a good choice when clamping workpieces of varying size.

Attach these workstops to the side or top of your vise to position parts. Two adjustable stop pins slide in and out for precise positioning of the magnet and the part.

Mount to your vise jaws to create a stop for positioning parts. Turn the spring-loaded screw to adjust and secure on the jaws.

Mount these workstops into slotted vise jaws—they hold workpieces in place and prevent horizontal movement during machining. Tighten them in place with screws for precise positioning. Unlike other workstops, they don’t grip the outside of jaws, so they’re less likely to interfere with your vise.

13/16"-long workstops mount anywhere along the length of a vise jaw.

1-11/16"-long workstops hold work that extends beyond the width of a vise jaw. They must be positioned on the ends of the jaw.

Designed for precision grinding and inspection, the construction of these vises ensures workpieces are held perfectly square. To move the jaw, remove the screw using a 1/4" hex key (not included) and manually slide the jaw into position. Then replace the screw and tighten to firmly grip the workpiece. The base and three sides of the vise are ground flat to a parallel tolerance of 0.0002", enabling mounting on its base, either side, or upright. Mount through the base with screws or use setup clamps (not included). Vises can be used on Bridgeport-style milling machines as well as drill presses and surface grinders. They are also known as toolmakers’ vises.

The entire surface of these plates is magnetic to provide a powerful hold for grinding, drilling, and electrical discharge machining (EDM). Pull the handle to switch the magnets on and off. Use the mounting clamps to secure the plate to your machine table and the removable back and side rails to keep your workpiece in position. Plates are sealed against dirt and liquid so they can be submerged in oil baths. They are not recommended for processes where workpieces are submerged in water.

Fine magnetic pole spacing provides the best hold on small or thin (1/4" or less) parts.

Standard magnetic pole spacing is suitable for most applications. It will provide the best grip on large or thick parts.

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.

Sets include multiple sizes of matched pairs that are precision ground for tight tolerances on the top and bottom edges. Place a parallel against each vise jaw and rest your workpiece on top to raise it within the vise and allow more clearance for cutting tools.

8" long parallels are also precision ground on both faces.

Adjust these two-piece parallels to your exact height requirements. Loosen the screw and slide the pieces in and out. When the desired height is achieved, tighten the screw. Parallels are precision ground on the top and bottom edges and are often used in pairs. Place a parallel against each vise jaw and rest your workpiece on top to raise it within the vise and allow more clearance for cutting tools.

Spring-loaded to keep parallels in place on a vise, squeeze the ends together to place inside; release and they push outward to hold the parallels against the vise jaws. They are also known as parallel separators.

The T-nut base secures the workstop into the slots of a machine table for positioning parts that extend beyond the jaws of your vise. Workstops tilt 180° and have an adjustable stop pin that slides in and out for precise positioning.
