Gibraltar G-112493 Horizontal Drill Press Vise Cast Iron

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G-112493 is a horizontal drill press vise built for accurate workholding on drill presses and similar machine tools. It features a 4 inch jaw opening capacity, a 1-3/4 inch throat depth, and a 4 inch jaw width, giving machinists and fabricators solid clamping range for a variety of stock sizes. The vise is constructed from cast iron for rigidity and vibration damping during drilling operations. With a stationary base and standard spindle operation, this vise is intended for fixed-position setups where consistent, repeatable part positioning is required. Overall length is 10-3/4 inches and overall height is approximately 3-1/4 inches. It is installed and used by machinists, toolroom technicians, and skilled trade professionals working with drill press equipment.

This vise is suited for use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where workpieces need to be held securely during drilling, reaming, or tapping operations. The horizontal orientation makes it compatible with standard drill press table setups. The stationary base design keeps the vise locked to the table surface during operation, reducing the risk of workpiece movement. It is appropriate for light to medium-duty applications involving metal, plastic, and composite materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or skilled tradesperson. Before mounting, ensure the drill press table is clean and free of chips or debris that could affect seating. Secure the vise to the table using appropriate T-slot bolts or clamps rated for the table slot dimensions. Always power down and lock out the drill press before adjusting or repositioning the vise on the table.
