Gibraltar G-112491 Horizontal Drill Press Vise

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G-112491 is a horizontal drill press vise built for secure workpiece clamping during drilling operations. Constructed from cast iron, it provides rigid, vibration-dampening holding power suited for repetitive hole-making tasks on the drill press. The vise features a 1.625-inch jaw opening capacity, a 1.5-inch jaw width, and a 1-inch throat depth, making it appropriate for small to medium workpieces. A stationary base keeps the vise fixed in position on the drill press table without swivel or tilt. Standard spindle operation gives the user straightforward clamping control. At 2 pounds and 5 inches overall length, it is a compact unit that fits easily on benchtop and floor-model drill presses alike. Machinists, toolmakers, and fabrication shops rely on this type of vise for accurate, repeatable setups.

This vise is intended for horizontal orientation on drill press tables in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance departments. It suits both light production and one-off drilling jobs where a fixed, non-swiveling base is preferred. The cast iron construction handles the downward thrust and lateral forces generated during standard-speed drilling without flex or creep. It is a practical choice wherever a low-profile, stationary drill press vise is needed for small-part work.

Key Features

• 1.625-inch jaw opening capacity accommodates a range of small to medium workpieces
• 1.5-inch jaw width distributes clamping force evenly across the workpiece face
• 1-inch throat depth allows clearance for stepped or slightly irregular stock
• Cast iron construction resists flex and dampens vibration during drilling
• Stationary base eliminates unwanted movement on the drill press table
• Compact 5-inch overall length fits standard benchtop and floor-model drill press tables

Compatibility

Designed as a stationary horizontal drill press vise suitable for use on standard drill press tables where a fixed, non-swiveling vise is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or tool operator. Power down and lock out the drill press before mounting or repositioning the vise on the table. Secure the vise to the drill press table using T-slot bolts or clamps appropriate for the table configuration before beginning any drilling operation. Inspect jaw faces and the base seating surface for debris or burrs prior to mounting to ensure a flat, stable setup.
