Gibraltar 56475 Vise Jaw Caps 6 Inch Aluminum Magnetic

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 56475 is a pair of extruded aluminum vise jaw caps designed to protect workpieces and finished surfaces during clamping operations. These caps slip over standard vise jaws and hold in place via magnetic attachment, eliminating the need for fasteners or adhesives. At 6 inches wide and 1 inch tall, they provide broad coverage across the jaw face. Machinists, fabricators, and bench technicians install these caps to prevent marring on soft metals, plastics, and coated parts. The extruded aluminum construction offers durability and light weight, making them a practical addition to any shop vise setup.

These jaw caps are suited for use in machine shops, fabrication shops, and general metalworking environments where workpiece protection is a priority. They are appropriate for bench vises with a 6-inch jaw width. The magnetic retention system allows for quick installation and removal, which is useful when switching between protected and bare-jaw clamping tasks. Sold as a set, they are a standard replacement or upgrade item for shop vises in both light industrial and professional trade settings.

Key Features

• Extruded aluminum construction resists deformation under moderate clamping loads
• Magnetic attachment secures caps without tools or adhesives
• 6-inch jaw width coverage suits standard full-size bench vises
• 1-inch jaw height provides adequate face coverage for most workpiece profiles
• Lightweight design adds minimal bulk to the vise jaw assembly
• Sold as a set of 2 caps, one per jaw face

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or add-on jaw cap set for bench vises with a 6-inch jaw width that support magnetic jaw cap attachment.

Installation Notes

No tools are required for installation due to the magnetic retention design. Simply align each cap over the corresponding vise jaw face and allow the magnet to seat against the jaw. Ensure the vise jaws are clean and free of debris before installing to ensure full magnetic contact. Remove caps before operations that require direct metal-to-jaw contact or high clamping torque that could displace the caps.
