Value Collection 428-7403 Horizontal Drill Press Vise

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 428-7403 is a horizontal drill press vise designed for securing workpieces during drilling operations on a drill press. Built from cast iron, it delivers the rigidity and mass needed to resist movement under drilling loads. The vise features a 3-5/16 inch jaw opening capacity, a jaw width of 3-1/2 inches, and a jaw height of 1.1 inches. The stationary base keeps the vise fixed to the drill press table without swivel or tilt motion. With an overall length of 8.5 inches and an overall height of 2.78 inches, it fits standard drill press table configurations. Machinists, tool and die workers, and general shop technicians are the primary users.

This vise is suited for light to medium drilling work in machine shops, maintenance shops, and production environments. The V-groove jaw style accommodates both flat stock and round bar, making it useful across a range of workpiece geometries. Its compact footprint works well on benchtop and floor-standing drill presses where table real estate is limited. Standard spindle operation means no quick-release or rapid-traverse mechanism is present, keeping the design straightforward and durable for repetitive use.

Key Features

• 3-5/16 inch jaw opening capacity handles a wide range of workpiece sizes
• V-groove jaw style grips both flat stock and round bar securely
• Cast iron construction provides rigidity and vibration damping during drilling
• Stationary base eliminates unwanted movement on the drill press table
• 3-1/2 inch jaw width distributes clamping force evenly across the workpiece
• Compact overall dimensions suit benchtop and floor-standing drill presses

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose horizontal drill press vise suitable for use on standard drill press tables in machine shop and maintenance shop applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or shop technician. Power down and lock out the drill press before mounting or adjusting the vise on the table. Secure the vise to the drill press table using T-bolts or clamps appropriate for the table slot pattern. Verify the vise jaws are aligned perpendicular to the spindle axis before tightening fasteners to ensure accurate drilling.
