Value Collection 1428-9235 Toolmakers Vise Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1428-9235 is a steel toolmaker's vise designed for precision workholding on surface grinders, milling machines, and inspection fixtures. The flat jaw configuration delivers 0.0002 inch parallelism and 0.0002 inch squareness, making it suitable for tight-tolerance machining and grinding operations. With a 3.5 inch jaw width and a 4.875 inch jaw opening capacity, it handles a broad range of workpiece sizes. The jaw height measures 1.5625 inches, the overall length is 9.25 inches, and the overall height is 3.3 inches. At 16 pounds, the cast steel construction provides the mass and rigidity that toolmakers and machinists require for repeatable setups.

This vise is intended for machine shop and toolroom environments where precision and repeatability are critical. Typical applications include surface grinding, drill press work, milling, and quality-control inspection setups. The flat jaw profile suits square and rectangular stock as well as precision-ground workpieces that must be held without distortion. It is installed and used by toolmakers, machinists, and shop maintenance technicians operating conventional and CNC machine tools.

• 0.0002 inch squareness tolerance ensures consistent perpendicular workholding
• 3.5 inch jaw width accommodates a wide range of workpiece profiles
• 4.875 inch jaw opening capacity handles larger stock sizes
• Flat jaw design suits square, rectangular, and precision-ground parts
• Steel construction provides rigidity and durability under repeated clamping loads

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style toolmaker's vise for use on surface grinders, milling machines, drill presses, and inspection tables requiring precision flat-jaw workholding. Model number EVS-S88 is referenced in manufacturer specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolmakers. Before mounting, ensure the machine table and vise base are clean and free of chips or burrs that could affect seating accuracy. Secure the vise to the machine table using appropriate T-nuts and fasteners rated for the application, and verify seating with a dial indicator before committing to a production run. Never exceed the jaw opening capacity, as overextension can damage the lead screw or jaw guides.
