Gibraltar 112527 Aluminum Vise Jaw Cap 6 Inch

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 112527 is a press-on aluminum vise jaw cap designed to protect workpieces from damage during clamping operations. Fitting over existing vise jaws, it provides a soft, non-marring contact surface that shields finished metals, plastics, and other materials from the hardened steel faces of a machinist or bench vise. The cap spans a 6-inch jaw width and is constructed from aluminum, offering durability without adding significant bulk. At 1 pound, it is light enough to install and remove quickly between jobs. This type of protective jaw cap is a standard accessory in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments.

This jaw cap is suited for use on bench vises and machinist vises with a 6-inch jaw width. The press-on attachment method means no tools or hardware are required for installation, making it practical for technicians and tradespeople who need to swap between protected and bare jaw configurations throughout the workday. It is commonly used when clamping threaded rod, tubing, finished stock, or any part that cannot tolerate surface marks from bare vise jaws.
