Gibraltar 110081 Self-centering Vise 4 Inch Jaw Width

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 110081 is a manual self-centering vise designed for precision workholding in machine shop and toolroom applications. With a 4-inch jaw width and a 4-inch maximum jaw opening capacity, it accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes. The body is constructed from cast iron for rigidity and vibration damping, while the jaw plates are steel for durability under repeated clamping cycles. At 6.375 inches overall height, the 110081 provides a stable, low-profile mounting footprint on mill tables, surface plates, and machining centers. Installation and operation are handled by machinists and tool and die technicians working in precision manufacturing environments.

The 110081 is suited for precision milling, grinding, and inspection setups where simultaneous, symmetrical clamping from a fixed centerline is required. The self-centering mechanism automatically positions the workpiece on center as the jaws close, reducing setup time and eliminating the need to re-indicate for centered operations. With a 1.5-inch throat depth, the vise handles moderate-depth workpieces typical in job shop and production machining. It is appropriate for both light production runs and one-off toolroom work where repeatability matters.

Key Features

• Self-centering jaw action automatically aligns workpiece to centerline on closure
• 4-inch jaw width provides broad clamping surface for stability
• 4-inch maximum jaw opening accommodates a wide range of stock sizes
• Cast iron body resists deflection and dampens vibration during cutting operations
• Steel jaw plates deliver hardened clamping surfaces for repeatable grip
• Manual operation with precision-rated construction for close-tolerance setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and direct-fit precision vise for manual machining centers, knee mills, and surface grinders requiring a self-centering workholding solution with a 4-inch jaw width.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine table is clean and free of chips before mounting to maintain accurate seating. Secure the vise using appropriate T-slot hardware torqued to the machine manufacturer's table specification. Verify jaw parallelism and centerline alignment with a dial indicator before committing to production cuts.
