Gibraltar 428-1084 Soft Vise Jaw 6 in Flat Aluminum

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 428-1084 is a flat soft vise jaw designed to protect workpieces during clamping operations on 6-inch bench vises. Machined from aluminum, this fixed jaw measures 6 inches wide, 2.5 inches high, and 1 inch thick. Its soft aluminum construction prevents marring, scoring, or deforming finished metal, wood, or plastic surfaces that a standard hardened steel jaw would damage. The bolt-on attachment method allows secure, repeatable mounting without special tooling. This jaw is a standard replacement and upgrade component used by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians across production and shop environments.

This vise jaw is sized specifically for use with 6-inch vises. It is suited for bench vise applications in machine shops, maintenance facilities, fabrication shops, and general industrial settings. The flat jaw profile makes it a practical choice for clamping flat stock, tubing, and finished components where surface protection is the priority. Fixed jaw movement type means it mounts to one side of the vise and does not float or pivot. Sold as a single jaw; verify whether your application requires one or two jaws before ordering.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 6-inch bench vises. Verify jaw width, height, and bolt pattern against your specific vise model before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or maintenance technician using standard hand tools. Secure the jaw using the bolt-on fasteners appropriate for your vise model, ensuring all mounting bolts are evenly tightened to prevent rocking or misalignment. Inspect the existing vise jaw mounting surface for damage or debris before installing the replacement jaw. Always clamp the vise in the closed position and verify jaw alignment before returning the vise to service.
