Value Collection 428-72811 Machine Vise 8 in Swivel Base

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 428-72811 is a manual, horizontal machine vise designed for secure workpiece clamping on milling machines, drill presses, and similar metalworking equipment. It features an 8-inch jaw width and a swivel base that allows the vise to rotate for angled setups without removing it from the table. With a jaw height of 2 inches and a throat depth of 2 inches, this vise accommodates a wide range of stock sizes. The single-station design provides straightforward, reliable clamping for general machining operations. At 105 pounds, the unit offers the mass and rigidity required for production and job-shop environments. Precision construction keeps the jaws aligned under load, reducing workpiece movement during cuts.

This machine vise is suited for use in machine shops, toolrooms, and maintenance facilities where horizontal workholding is required. The swivel base makes it practical for setups that call for angled milling or drilling passes without repositioning the workpiece. A maximum jaw opening capacity of 8.25 inches covers most standard stock widths encountered in general metalworking. It is intended for use by machinists and skilled tradespeople working with manual mills and drill presses in both production and maintenance-repair settings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or qualified toolroom technician. The vise is secured to the machine table using T-bolts and nuts matched to the table slot dimensions — confirm slot width and bolt size before mounting. Ensure the machine is powered off and the spindle is stationary before mounting or repositioning the vise. Verify jaw parallelism with a dial indicator after mounting to confirm proper alignment before beginning any machining operation.
