Gibraltar DPV/STD-125 Drill Press Vise 5 in Cast Iron

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR DPV/STD-125 is a horizontal drill press vise designed for stationary workholding on drill presses in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments. Built from cast iron, the vise delivers rigid, vibration-damping clamping suitable for repetitive drilling operations. It features a 5-inch jaw opening capacity with V-groove jaw faces that secure round and irregular stock without slipping. The throat depth measures 2 inches, accommodating a range of workpiece profiles. At 19.25 pounds, the unit stays planted on the drill press table without requiring additional ballast. Standard spindle operation provides straightforward tightening and release for production or general-purpose use.

This vise is suited for horizontal clamping applications on benchtop and floor-standing drill presses. The stationary base keeps the vise fixed in position during drilling, making it appropriate for repetitive hole patterns where repositioning the workpiece rather than the vise is the preferred workflow. The 5-inch jaw width handles flat stock, bar stock, and tubing. The V-groove jaw style adds versatility for cylindrical workpieces. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics will find this vise a practical addition to drill press setups requiring consistent, repeatable clamping.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard horizontal drill press vise suitable for use on benchtop and floor-standing drill presses with compatible table slots and clamping arrangements.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified technician should mount the vise to the drill press table using appropriate hold-down bolts through the base slots before operation. Ensure the drill press is powered off and the spindle is fully stopped before installing or repositioning the vise. Do not exceed the jaw opening capacity of 5 inches, and verify workpiece is fully seated against the jaw faces before applying clamping force. Check table slot compatibility and bolt sizing before mounting.
