Jet Equipment WL9-1611931 Pivot Jaw 78A 78C Vise

Product Description

The JET EQUIPMENT WL9-1611931 is a replacement pivot jaw designed for use with JET 78A and 78C Continuous Rapid Acting Vises. The pivot jaw is a critical clamping component that allows the vise to make full contact with irregular or angled workpiece surfaces. It seats within the movable jaw assembly and self-adjusts to maintain even clamping pressure across the workpiece face. This part is intended for shop technicians, machinists, and maintenance professionals performing vise repair or restoring worn clamping components to factory function. The part ships as a single unit and weighs 1 pound.

This pivot jaw is suited for benchtop and floor-mounted vise applications in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and industrial maintenance environments. It is used when the original pivot jaw shows wear, cracking, or loss of angular movement that compromises clamping performance. Installation applies specifically to JET 78A Continuous Rapid Acting Vise and JET 78C Continuous Rapid Acting Vise models as identified by JET Equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or industrial maintenance technician. Before beginning, ensure the vise is fully released and secured against movement on the bench or mounting surface. Disassemble the movable jaw assembly according to the vise manufacturer's service documentation before removing and replacing the pivot jaw. Consult applicable shop safety procedures and equipment lockout protocols before servicing any bench vise component.
