Jet Equipment WL9-28832 Machinist Round Channel Vise

Product Description

The JET EQUIPMENT WL9-28832 is a machinist-grade round channel vise with swivel base, built for heavy-duty clamping in demanding shop environments. Manufactured in the USA, this vise features a rear-anchored nut design that delivers straight-line pull and even clamping pressure across the full jaw width. The enclosed round channel keeps the spindle and nut assembly sealed against debris while retaining lubrication for consistent, smooth operation over the long term. Jaw width is 5 inches. The unit ships at 100 pounds, indicating a substantial cast construction suited for serious bench work.

This vise is intended for use on machinist benches in production shops, tool rooms, and fabrication environments. It is well-suited to metalworking tasks that require precise, repeatable clamping force without jaw deflection. The integrated swivel base allows the operator to reposition the workpiece without unclamping, saving setup time on complex jobs. The machined anvil work surface provides a dedicated area for light striking and fitting operations alongside the primary clamping function.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or millwrights mounting the vise to a steel or cast-iron workbench surface. Secure the swivel base to the bench using appropriately rated fasteners through the base mounting holes. Confirm the bench surface can support the vise weight before mounting. Follow all applicable shop safety procedures when working with heavy bench equipment.
