Value Collection 428-72671 Machine Vise 6 in Swivel Base

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 428-72671 is a horizontal machine vise with a swivel base, designed for use on milling machines, drill presses, and similar metalworking equipment. It features a 6-inch jaw width and a 1.5-inch jaw height, providing a solid clamping surface for workholding operations. With a rated load capacity of 6,600 pounds and a precision-ground construction, this vise is built to hold ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces securely during machining. Manual operation keeps setup straightforward. The swivel base allows the vise to rotate for angled cuts without repositioning the part on the table. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this type of equipment.

This vise suits horizontal workholding applications in production machine shops, toolrooms, and maintenance facilities. The single-station configuration makes it appropriate for individual workpiece setups on knee mills, bed mills, and drill press tables. The 4.375-inch overall height fits standard T-slot tables without excessive reach above the spindle centerline. It is well-suited for general-purpose milling, drilling, and light grinding operations where repeatable clamping is required.

Key Features

• 6-inch jaw width accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes
• 1.5-inch jaw height and 1.5-inch throat depth provide consistent grip on flat and near-flat stock
• 6,600-pound load capacity supports heavy cutting forces in production environments
• Swivel base allows angular positioning without unclamping or re-indicating the vise
• Horizontal orientation suits standard milling and drilling table setups
• Precision-grade construction for repeatable, accurate workholding

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit addition for standard T-slot milling machine and drill press tables requiring a horizontal swivel-base machine vise with a 6-inch jaw width.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Before mounting, ensure the machine table is powered down and the spindle is fully stopped. Secure the vise to the T-slot table using appropriate T-bolts and strap clamps rated for the table size, and indicate the fixed jaw parallel to the table travel before final torquing. Inspect jaw faces and the swivel base lock for wear or damage before placing the vise in service.
