Gibraltar GB-Vise-004 Toolmaker Vise 2.5 in Flat Jaw Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GB-Vise-004 is a flat-jaw toolmaker's vise built for precision workholding on machine tools, surface grinders, and milling setups. It features a 2.5-inch jaw width with a 3-inch jaw opening capacity and a jaw height of 1.25 inches. The vise is machined to a parallelism tolerance of 0.0002 inches and a squareness tolerance of 0.0003 inches, making it suitable for close-tolerance machining and inspection work. Constructed from steel, it provides the rigidity and dimensional stability required in professional toolroom and production environments. Machinists, toolmakers, and machine shop technicians are the primary installers and users of this vise.

This vise is designed for toolroom, production machining, and inspection applications where precise workholding is critical. It is well suited for use on manual mills, surface grinders, and drill presses in both job shop and production settings. The flat jaw profile accommodates square and rectangular workpieces without modification. At an overall length of 7.4 inches and an overall height of 2.5 inches, it fits standard machine tables without excessive footprint. Its steel construction handles repeated clamping cycles without loss of dimensional accuracy over time.

Key Features

• Flat jaw profile for secure, distortion-free clamping of prismatic workpieces
• Parallelism tolerance of 0.0002 inches for precision workholding applications
• Squareness tolerance of 0.0003 inches ensures accurate part orientation
• 2.5-inch jaw width with 3-inch maximum opening capacity
• All-steel construction for rigidity and long service life in production environments
• Compact overall length of 7.4 inches suits a range of machine table sizes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style toolmaker's vise for use on standard machine tool tables including mills, surface grinders, and drill presses where T-slot or direct mounting of precision vises is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or toolmaker using standard T-slot hardware or strap clamps appropriate to the machine table. Ensure the machine is powered down and any spindle is fully stopped before mounting or repositioning the vise. Clean and deburr the machine table surface before seating the vise to maintain parallelism. Verify jaw alignment with a dial indicator after mounting before beginning any precision work.
