Gibraltar 428-72022 Machine Vise 6 in Swivel Base Angle

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 428-72022 is a manual machine vise designed for workholding on milling machines, drill presses, and similar metalworking equipment. It features a 6-inch jaw width and 6-inch jaw opening, making it suitable for securing a wide range of workpiece sizes. The swivel base allows the vise to rotate for angled setups without repositioning the workpiece. At 107 pounds, this is a heavy-duty unit built for stable, repeatable clamping in a machine shop environment. It is typically installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals.

This vise is suited for single-station setups in both production and job-shop environments. The angled orientation type and swivel base make it a practical choice for operations requiring compound angles or repeated repositioning between cuts. With a 2-inch jaw height and 2-inch throat depth, it accommodates standard stock sizes commonly encountered in general machining work. Manual operation keeps the setup straightforward with no hydraulic or pneumatic infrastructure required.

Installation Notes

Machine vises are mounted to machine tables by machinists using T-slot bolts or strap clamps matched to the machine table specifications. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or repositioning the vise. Verify table slot dimensions and bolt patterns before installation. Always torque mounting hardware to the machine manufacturer's specifications.
