Kurt D80-50 Vise Key Steel Accessory

Product Description

The KURT D80-50 is a steel vise key designed as a jaw accessory for precision machine vises. Vise keys align the vise jaw accurately to the machine table T-slot, maintaining consistent jaw positioning across setups. Constructed from steel, the D80-50 measures 0.8125 inches in overall length, 0.8125 inches in overall width, and 0.4375 inches in overall height. It is a small but critical component used by machinists and toolroom technicians to ensure repeatable vise registration on milling machines and similar equipment.

This vise key is suited for use in machine shop environments where precise workholding alignment is required. It is installed in the base of a KURT machine vise to engage the table T-slot and prevent lateral shifting during clamping operations. The compact dimensions make it appropriate for vise bases designed to accept standard vise keys of this size.

Installation Notes

Installation of a vise key is typically performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Before servicing or replacing the vise key, ensure the machine is powered down and all moving axes are locked or at rest. The vise should be removed from the machine table to allow clear access to the key slot in the vise base. Use proper hand tools and verify that the key seats fully and flush before remounting the vise to the table.
