The keeper measures 14 inches long by 10 inches wide and supports a maximum opening capacity of 8 inches. At 1 pound, it is a lightweight but purpose-built accessory that prevents parallels from shifting or falling when the vise is opened between setups. Machinists and tool room technicians install this keeper to maintain workholding consistency and reduce setup time on manual and CNC milling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KPS-8000 is intended for use with Kurt vises in machine shop environments, including job shops, tool rooms, and production machining cells. It is suited for applications where parallels must remain positioned and accessible throughout a workholding sequence. The keeper fits into the vise setup workflow without requiring modification to the vise itself, making it a straightforward add-on accessory for technicians already working with Kurt workholding equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports a maximum parallel opening capacity of 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOverall footprint of 14 inches long by 10 inches wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 1 pound for easy handling during setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned specifically for use with Kurt vises\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeeps parallels retained and properly positioned between setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with Kurt vises as stated by the manufacturer.
