Jet Equipment WL9-28826 Combination Pipe Bench Vise

Product Description

The JET EQUIPMENT WL9-28826 is a combination pipe and bench vise built for demanding clamping work in professional shop and trade environments. It features a 4.5-inch jaw opening with a round channel design that fully encloses the spindle and nut assembly, keeping debris out and lubrication in for long-term smooth operation. Unlike conventional vises with a fixed center nut, the WL9-28826 anchors the nut at the rear of the channel, providing straight-line pull and even pressure distribution across the jaw faces. This design extends service life under heavy use and reduces wear on the screw mechanism. The unit is made in the USA and weighs 76 pounds.

This vise is suited for plumbing, pipefitting, welding, and general fabrication work in residential and commercial settings. The combination design integrates main jaws for standard workholding, pipe jaws for gripping round stock and pipe, and a machined anvil work surface for light forming and striking tasks. It is intended for permanent bench mounting and is well-matched to professional pipe shops, mechanical rooms, and trade workbenches where a single vise must handle varied clamping tasks without switching tooling.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and direct-fit bench vise for permanent mounting on standard steel or hardwood workbenches used in plumbing, pipefitting, and general fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified tradesperson or machinist using standard hand and power tools. Secure the vise base to a bench surface rated to support the 76-pound unit weight plus applied clamping loads, following fastener torque guidelines provided by the bench manufacturer. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and rigid before bolting down to prevent rocking under load. Do not exceed the jaw capacity of the vise when clamping oversized workpieces.
