Value Collection 1428-9230 Toolmaker Vise 2.875in Flat Jaw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1428-9230 is a flat-jaw toolmaker's vise built for precision workholding in machine shop and tool room environments. Constructed from steel, it delivers a jaw width of 2.875 inches, a jaw opening capacity of 4 inches, and a jaw height of approximately 1.578 inches. Parallelism and squareness are both held to 0.0002 inches, making this vise suitable for grinding, milling, and inspection setups where tight tolerances are required. The overall height is 3.14 inches. At 10 pounds, it is substantial enough for rigid clamping while remaining manageable on a surface grinder or milling table.

This toolmaker's vise is intended for use in precision machining environments, including tool rooms, job shops, and manufacturing facilities. Its flat jaw geometry supports flush, repeatable workholding for rectangular and prismatic parts. The model number EVB-80 is referenced in the manufacturer's specifications. Typical applications include surface grinding setups, inspection plate work, and secondary milling operations where a sine vise or angle plate is not required.

Key Features

• Flat jaw design for flush, repeatable clamping of rectangular and prismatic workpieces
• Parallelism held to 0.0002 inches for precision grinding and inspection use
• Squareness held to 0.0002 inches ensuring jaw faces remain perpendicular to the base
• 2.875-inch jaw width accommodates a broad range of part sizes
• 4-inch jaw opening capacity suits both small and medium workpieces
• Steel construction for rigidity and durability under machine tool loads

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose toolmaker's vise suitable for surface grinders, milling machines, and inspection setups requiring flat-jaw precision workholding. Model number EVB-80 is referenced by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom professional. Before mounting, ensure the machine table or surface plate is clean and free of chips or burrs that could affect seating accuracy. Secure the vise using appropriate T-bolts or clamps rated for the table being used. Verify parallelism and squareness to the machine axis using a dial test indicator before committing to a production run.
