Gibraltar 428-72032 Machine Vise 4 in Jaw Stationary

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 428-72032 is a manually operated machine vise designed for workholding applications on milling machines, drill presses, and similar machine tools. It features a 4-inch jaw width and 4-inch jaw opening, giving machinists a solid grip on a wide range of workpiece sizes. The jaw height measures 1.5 inches, and the vise stands 4.5 inches tall overall. The stationary base keeps the unit fixed in position during operation, while the angle orientation allows workpieces to be presented at a consistent angle for precision machining tasks. Installation and use require no power — operation is fully manual.

This vise is suited for light-duty to medium-duty machine shop environments, including job shops, maintenance facilities, and vocational settings. It is designed for use in single-station setups where a compact, stationary vise is needed. The angle configuration makes it a practical choice when tilted or angled workholding is required for drilling, milling, or boring operations on standard machine tool tables.

Key Features

• 4-inch jaw width accommodates a broad range of workpiece sizes
• 4-inch jaw opening provides ample clearance for varied stock dimensions
• Stationary base delivers a stable, fixed mount during machining operations
• Angle orientation type allows workpieces to be held at an angle for specific cut geometry
• Manual operation with no pneumatic or hydraulic components to maintain
• Single-station design keeps setup straightforward on compact machine tables

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade vise for use in single-station manual machining setups on standard machine tool tables with compatible T-slot mounting configurations.

Installation Notes

Machine vises of this type are typically installed by machinists or toolroom technicians. Before mounting, power down and lock out the machine tool per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Secure the vise to the machine table using appropriate T-bolts and clamping hardware sized for the table slot; verify that the mounting surface is clean and free of chips or debris before torquing fasteners. Confirm jaw alignment with a dial indicator before beginning production runs.
