Value Collection 1428-9240 Toolmaker Vise 4 in Flat Jaw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1428-9240 is a flat-jaw toolmaker's vise built for precision workholding in machine shop and toolroom environments. The steel body delivers the rigidity required for milling, grinding, and inspection setups. Jaw width is 4 inches with an opening capacity of 4-7/8 inches, and jaw height is 1-3/4 inches. Parallelism and squareness are both held to 0.0002 inches, making this vise suitable for close-tolerance setups where alignment directly affects part quality. Overall length is 9-5/8 inches and overall height is 3-1/2 inches. At 23 pounds, the unit provides a stable base during heavy cutting operations.

This vise is intended for use on manual or CNC milling machines, surface grinders, and inspection tables in tool and die, prototype, and general machining environments. The flat jaw configuration accommodates parallel workpieces and is a standard choice for setups where consistent jaw contact across the full width of the part is required. Machinists, toolmakers, and skilled trade professionals working in production or job-shop settings are the primary users of this type of vise.

Key Features

• 4 inch jaw width with 4-7/8 inch maximum opening capacity
• Flat jaw profile for consistent clamping across parallel workpieces
• Parallelism held to 0.0002 inches for precision alignment
• Squareness held to 0.0002 inches for accurate angular registration
• Steel construction throughout for rigidity and long service life
• Compact 9-5/8 inch overall length fits standard milling machine tables

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount toolmaker's vise for use on standard T-slot milling machine tables, surface grinder magnetic chucks, and inspection surface plates where the mounting footprint and jaw width are appropriate for the workpiece and machine table size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolmakers. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or repositioning the vise on the table. Secure the vise using appropriate T-bolts and strap clamps or dedicated vise-mounting hardware rated for the table slot size. Verify jaw alignment with a dial test indicator before committing to a production setup, particularly when parallelism or squareness tolerances are critical to the workpiece.
