Gibraltar G-112402 Horizontal Drill Press Vise 4 Inch

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G-112402 is a horizontal drill press vise built for stationary workholding on drill presses in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and industrial maintenance environments. The vise features a 4-inch jaw opening capacity and 3-1/2-inch wide jaws, providing a stable, square grip on workpieces during drilling operations. Constructed from cast iron, the G-112402 offers rigid, vibration-damping performance under repeated drilling loads. The stationary base keeps the vise fixed to the drill press table without rotation, and the standard-speed spindle operation gives operators consistent, predictable jaw travel. Overall length measures 12-1/2 inches, with an overall height of approximately 2-3/4 inches.

This vise is suited for light to medium-duty horizontal drilling applications in machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, vocational training environments, and production settings where consistent part alignment is required. The 1-1/2-inch throat depth accommodates workpieces of moderate thickness without repositioning. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance mechanics commonly reach for this style of vise when securing metal stock, plastic, or composite parts for through-hole or counterbore drilling operations.

Key Features

• 4-inch jaw opening capacity handles a wide range of workpiece widths
• 3-1/2-inch wide jaws distribute clamping force evenly across the workpiece
• 1-1/2-inch throat depth accommodates thicker stock without repositioning
• Cast iron construction provides rigidity and vibration damping under drilling loads
• Stationary base design keeps the vise square to the drill press table
• 12-1/2-inch overall length offers a stable footprint on standard drill press tables

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit addition for standard horizontal drill press setups requiring a stationary-base vise with a 4-inch jaw opening capacity.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance mechanics using standard T-slot hardware to secure the vise to the drill press table. Power down and lock out the drill press before mounting or repositioning the vise. Confirm the vise is square to the spindle axis before tightening hold-down hardware to ensure accurate drilling. Consult the drill press table slot dimensions before ordering to verify T-slot compatibility.
