Inside Diameter Fixture Clamps


Top Actuation	Side Actuation

Secure a workpiece from the inside diameter, leaving the outside clear for machining. Machine these clamps to match the precise size and contours of your workpiece ID. Mount the clamp to your fixture with the included screws and place your workpiece over it. Turn the socket head cap screw to expand the clamp.

Top Actuation—Top-actuated clamps tighten from the top of the clamp, so workpieces need a through hole.

Side Actuation—Side-actuated clamps tighten from the side of the clamp, gripping parts without a through hole in the top.

Self-Centering Machine Vises

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.

Inside Diameter Fixture Clamps for Castings and Rough Parts

These clamps wedge against the workpiece ID to grip cast, unfinished, or uneven parts, leaving the outside clear for machining. Do not use these clamps on smooth or finished ID’s because they will leave a mark. The clamp’s screw tightens from the top of the clamp, so workpieces require a through hole. Thread the clamp into a tapped hole in your fixture and place your workpiece over it. Reach through the hole to turn the screw, expanding the clamp.

Extra-Wide-Opening Tilting-Head Bench Vises

For large workpieces, these vises open three times as wide as industrial 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).

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