Gibraltar TVS-60 Toolmaker Vise 5-29/32 in Flat Jaw Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR TVS-60 is a precision toolmaker's vise designed for machining, grinding, and inspection work in tool rooms and machine shops. Built with flat steel jaws, it delivers a jaw width of 5.9 inches, a jaw opening capacity of 6.89 inches, and a jaw height of 1.969 inches. The vise holds parallelism to 0.00012 inches and squareness to 0.0002 inches, making it appropriate for close-tolerance setups where workholding accuracy directly affects finished-part quality. At 44 pounds, it provides the mass needed to stay planted on a surface plate or machine table during heavy cuts.

This vise is used in tool room environments for milling, surface grinding, and precision layout work. The flat jaw configuration suits square and rectangular workpieces that require consistent, repeatable clamping across the full jaw face. It fits standard setups on knee mills, surface grinders, and inspection tables in both job shop and production tool room settings. Licensed machinists and toolmakers are the primary installers and operators of this type of vise.

Key Features

• Flat jaw design provides consistent clamping across the full 5.9-inch jaw width
• Parallelism held to 0.00012 inches for close-tolerance workholding
• Squareness held to 0.0002 inches to maintain part geometry during setup
• 6.89-inch jaw opening capacity accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes
• Steel construction for rigidity and long service life in production environments
• Overall length of 11.8 inches and overall height of 3.93 inches for predictable footprint planning

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or toolmaker should mount and indicate this vise to the machine table before use. Power down and lock out the machine before securing the vise with appropriate T-nuts and bolts. Indicate the fixed jaw with a test indicator to confirm alignment within the tolerance requirements of the job. Do not exceed the jaw opening capacity, as over-opening can damage the lead screw or guide ways.
