Gibraltar 428-74062 Horizontal Drill Press Vise 4 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 428-74062 is a horizontal drill press vise designed for securing workpieces on drill press tables during drilling operations. It features a 4-inch jaw opening capacity and a 1-1/2-inch throat depth, making it suitable for a range of small to mid-size workpieces. The vise has a 4-inch-wide jaw, a stationary base, and standard spindle operation. Overall dimensions are 7-5/16 inches in length and 2-11/16 inches in height. At 10 pounds, it provides solid mass for stable clamping without being unwieldy on a bench or press table. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians are the typical users.

This vise is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments where a drill press is the primary tool. The stationary base keeps the vise fixed to the drill press table during operation, which is the correct configuration for standard drilling tasks that do not require workpiece rotation. It is well-suited for repetitive drilling on flat stock, angle iron, or similar materials where a consistent clamping position is needed throughout a job.

Key Features

• 4-inch jaw opening capacity accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes
• 1-1/2-inch throat depth allows clearance for taller or irregular stock
• 4-inch-wide jaw distributes clamping force evenly across the workpiece
• Stationary base maintains fixed positioning on the drill press table
• Standard spindle operation for straightforward tightening and release
• Compact overall footprint at 7-5/16 inches long and 2-11/16 inches tall

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard accessory vise for use with bench-mounted and floor-standing drill presses requiring a horizontal, stationary-base vise with a 4-inch jaw opening.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians. Before mounting, power down and lock out the drill press per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Secure the vise to the drill press table using the appropriate T-slot bolts or clamping hardware for your table configuration. Verify that the vise jaw travel is unobstructed and that the workpiece clears the spindle travel path before resuming power.
