Te-co PWS-4600 Machine Vise 6 Inch Single Station

Product Description

The TE-CO PWS-4600 is a single-station horizontal machine vise built for precision workholding on milling machines, drill presses, and similar machining equipment. Constructed from steel throughout, it features detachable jaws with a 1.38-inch jaw height and a maximum jaw opening capacity of 6 inches. The throat depth measures 1.38 inches, giving adequate clearance for a wide range of workpiece profiles. With a load capacity rated at 7,000 pounds, this vise is suited for demanding production and toolroom environments where secure, repeatable clamping is required. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this vise as a direct workholding solution on standard T-slot machine tables.

The PWS-4600 is designed for horizontal orientation on single-station setups. Its base footprint measures 12.64 inches in length by 6.30 inches in width, with a base height of 2.25 inches and an overall height of 3.63 inches. This sizing makes it appropriate for mid-size vertical milling machines and similar machining centers in both job shop and production environments. The detachable jaw design allows for jaw swaps to accommodate different workpiece geometries without replacing the full vise body.
