Gibraltar GB-Vise-002 Toolmaker Vise 1 in Flat Jaw Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GB-Vise-002 is a steel toolmaker's vise designed for precision workholding in machine shop and bench applications. It features a flat jaw profile with a 1-inch jaw width and a jaw opening capacity of 0.8125 inches (13/16 inches). Parallelism and squareness are both held to 0.0001 inches, making this vise suited for close-tolerance setups where jaw alignment directly affects part accuracy. Machinists, toolmakers, and precision grinders install this type of vise on surface grinders, milling machines, or bench fixtures where a compact, accurate workholding solution is required.

The GB-Vise-002 is intended for use in toolroom and production machining environments. Its compact overall length of 2.55 inches and overall height of 1.1875 inches (1-3/16 inches) make it well suited for small-part holding on surface grinders and precision milling setups. The flat jaw design provides consistent, repeatable clamping across the full jaw width. This vise is appropriate for both light production runs and individual toolroom work where part-to-part repeatability is critical.

Key Features

• Flat jaw design provides uniform clamping contact across the full 1-inch jaw width
• Parallelism held to 0.0001 inches for precision surface grinding and milling applications
• Squareness held to 0.0001 inches for accurate 90-degree workholding setups
• Steel construction for durability and resistance to workholding forces
• Compact footprint — 2.55 inches overall length — fits tight machine table envelopes
• Jaw opening capacity of 0.8125 inches accommodates a range of small workpiece sizes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision toolmaker's vise suitable for use on surface grinders, milling machines, and bench fixtures where compact flat-jaw workholding is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or toolmaker. Before mounting, ensure the machine table is powered down and any moving components are fully stopped. Mounting surfaces should be clean and free of burrs to maintain the vise's precision parallelism and squareness ratings. Fastener torque and T-slot hardware selection should follow the machine manufacturer's specifications.
