Value Collection 428-7401 Drill Press Vise Cast Iron

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 428-7401 is a horizontal drill press vise designed for securing workpieces during drilling operations on benchtop and floor-standing drill presses. Built from cast iron, this vise features a 1.5-inch jaw opening capacity and a 0.875-inch throat depth, making it suited for small-part work where a compact, rigid hold is required. The jaws measure 1.5 inches wide by 1 inch high. Overall length is 5 inches with an overall height of 1.75 inches. The stationary base keeps the vise fixed to the drill press table during operation. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and general metalworking shops typically use this type of vise for repetitive drilling, tapping, and reaming tasks.

This vise is intended for horizontal clamping applications on drill press tables in light industrial, job shop, and maintenance environments. Its compact footprint suits smaller drill press tables where a full-size vise would be impractical. The standard spindle operation type means no quick-release or rapid-adjust mechanism is present — the operator advances the jaw through a conventional screw drive. It is well matched to workholding tasks involving small metal stock, plastic, and similar rigid materials where a controlled, repeatable clamp position is needed.

Key Features

• 1.5-inch jaw opening capacity handles small to mid-range workpiece widths
• 0.875-inch throat depth provides clearance for stock positioned against the fixed jaw
• Cast iron construction delivers rigidity and vibration damping under drill press loads
• Stationary base keeps the vise fixed to the table without rotation during use
• Compact 5-inch overall length fits smaller drill press tables without overhang
• Standard screw-drive spindle operation provides controlled, precise jaw advancement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style workholding replacement or addition for light-duty horizontal drill press applications where a compact cast iron vise with a 1.5-inch jaw opening is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or general shop technicians. Before mounting, power down and lock out the drill press per standard LOTO procedures. The vise is typically secured to the drill press table using T-bolts or clamps passed through the table slots — verify table slot dimensions match your fastening hardware before mounting. Ensure the vise base is clean and flat against the table surface to prevent rocking under load.
