Gibraltar EVB-73HP Toolmaker Vise 3 in Jaw Flat Jaw Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR EVB-73HP is a flat-jaw toolmaker's vise built for precision workholding in machine shop and tool room environments. It features a 3-inch jaw width, a jaw opening capacity of 3.375 inches, and a jaw height of 4 inches. Parallelism and squareness tolerances are both held to 0.005 inches, making this vise suitable for tight-tolerance setups where repeatability matters. Constructed from steel, it is sized for use on milling machines, surface grinders, and inspection tables. Machinists, toolmakers, and skilled tradespeople are the primary installers and users of this vise.

The EVB-73HP is designed for use in precision machining and toolroom applications where consistent jaw alignment is critical. Its flat jaw profile makes it well suited for gripping square, rectangular, and flat stock during milling, drilling, or grinding operations. The compact overall length of 7.5 inches and overall height of 2.76 inches allow it to fit on smaller machine tables without sacrificing rigidity. This vise is appropriate for both production environments and one-off toolroom setups requiring high-accuracy workholding.

Key Features

• Flat jaw profile for consistent contact on square and rectangular stock
• 0.005-inch parallelism tolerance for precise, repeatable setups
• 0.005-inch squareness tolerance ensures true alignment during machining
• 3.375-inch jaw opening capacity accommodates a range of workpiece sizes
• Steel construction for durability in machine shop environments
• Compact footprint at 7.5 inches overall length and 2.76 inches overall height

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision workholding vise suitable for use on milling machines, surface grinders, and toolroom tables where flat-jaw clamping and tight tolerances are required.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolmaker familiar with workholding equipment. Before mounting, ensure the machine table is clean and free of chips or burrs that could affect seating. Secure the vise using appropriate T-slot hardware and verify jaw alignment with a dial indicator before beginning any machining operation. Do not exceed the jaw opening capacity rating to avoid damage to the vise body or jaw faces.
