Value Collection 428-7402 Horizontal Drill Press Vise

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 428-7402 is a horizontal drill press vise designed for securing workpieces during drilling operations on a drill press. Built from cast iron, it provides the rigidity and mass needed to resist movement under drilling loads. The vise features a 2.5-inch jaw opening capacity and a 1.5-inch throat depth, making it suitable for small to medium workpieces. A stationary base keeps the vise fixed to the drill press table without swivel or rotation. The 2.5-inch wide jaw distributes clamping force evenly across flat stock, round bar, and similar material profiles. Standard spindle operation provides straightforward screw-driven clamping without rapid-action mechanisms.

This vise is intended for use in machine shops, fabrication shops, and trade workshops where a drill press is part of the standard tool inventory. It fits typical benchtop and floor-standing drill press tables and is well suited for repetitive hole-drilling tasks on metal, wood, or plastic stock. Machinists, toolmakers, and skilled trades workers who need a compact, reliable work-holding solution for light to medium drilling work will find this vise a straightforward fit. The overall length of 7.25 inches and overall height of 2.625 inches keep the throat close to the table surface for stable setups.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style work-holding accessory for use with standard benchtop and floor-standing drill press tables in light to medium machining applications.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or skilled trades worker typically mounts this vise to a drill press table using T-bolts or clamps through the base mounting slots. Power down and lock out the drill press before positioning or repositioning the vise on the table. Verify the vise is fully seated and clamped to the table before initiating any drilling operation. Inspect the cast iron body for cracks before each use and do not use the vise as a striking surface.
