Value Collection 1428-9220 Toolmaker Vise 2in Jaw Width

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1428-9220 is a flat-jaw toolmaker's vise designed for precision workholding in machine shop and bench-top applications. Built from steel, this vise holds tolerances of 0.0002 inches for both parallelism and squareness, making it suitable for inspection, grinding, milling, and layout work where consistent jaw alignment is critical. The jaw width measures 2 inches with a jaw height of 1 inch and a maximum opening capacity of 2-1/2 inches. Overall length is 5-1/2 inches and overall height is 1-31/32 inches. At 4 pounds, it is compact enough for surface plate work or toolroom bench use. Licensed machinists, toolmakers, and precision grinder operators are the primary users.

This vise fits standard toolroom and machine shop workflows where a small, accurate workholding device is needed for precision parts. Typical applications include surface grinding setups, EDM work, inspection staging, and secondary milling operations on small components. The flat jaw profile accommodates parallel stock and ground workpieces without marring critical surfaces.

Key Features

• 0.0002 inch parallelism tolerance for consistent workholding accuracy
• 0.0002 inch squareness tolerance ensures repeatable part positioning
• Flat jaw design accommodates ground and precision-milled workpieces
• Steel construction provides rigidity and durability under machining loads
• Compact 5-1/2 inch overall length suits surface plate and bench-top use
• 2-1/2 inch jaw opening capacity handles a range of small workpiece sizes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-purpose toolmaker's vise for small precision workholding applications in toolroom and machine shop environments.

Installation Notes

Mounting and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Before securing the vise to a magnetic chuck, surface grinder table, or milling machine table, clean all mating surfaces to remove chips and debris that could affect seating accuracy. Verify jaw parallelism and squareness against known reference surfaces after mounting. Do not exceed the jaw opening capacity when clamping workpieces, as overextension can affect alignment tolerances.
