Kurt SCMX425-RISERKI Vise Jaw Riser Accessory

Product Description

The KURT SCMX425-RISERKI is an aluminum vise jaw riser accessory designed to increase the effective jaw height on compatible Kurt vises. Machined from aluminum, this riser measures 8 inches in overall length, 6 inches in overall width, and 2.5 inches in overall height. It provides additional workpiece clearance and repositions stock for machining operations that require elevated part positioning. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this accessory when standard jaw height is insufficient for the workpiece or fixture setup. At 12 pounds, the riser is rigid enough for production use while remaining straightforward to swap between setups.

This riser is suited for use in machine shop environments including CNC milling, manual milling, and general fixturing applications. It is intended for horizontal or vertical machining centers where a Kurt-style vise is already mounted to the table. The added height allows operators to access more of the workpiece without repositioning clamps or changing the vise body itself, reducing setup time on repetitive jobs.

Key Features

• Aluminum construction provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant riser body
• 8-inch overall length and 6-inch overall width match common Kurt vise jaw profiles
• 2.5-inch overall height adds meaningful clearance for taller workpieces
• Drop-in accessory format installs without specialized tooling
• 12-pound solid construction maintains stability during clamping and cutting operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style jaw riser accessory for Kurt-style machinist vises where the jaw profile accepts a bolt-on or drop-in riser configuration. Verify jaw width and mounting pattern against your existing vise model before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Before installing or removing the riser, ensure the vise is unclamped and no cutting operations are in progress. Confirm that the mounting interface and fastener pattern on the riser match the vise jaw before applying clamping force. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for maximum clamping torque and jaw load to avoid distorting the riser or vise body.
