Value Collection 428-7404 Horizontal Drill Press Vise

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 428-7404 is a horizontal drill press vise designed for securing workpieces on drill press tables during drilling, reaming, and light milling operations. Built from cast iron, it provides a rigid, vibration-dampening grip that keeps parts stable under repeated spindle loads. The vise opens to 3.75 inches of jaw capacity and features jaws that measure 4.5 inches wide by 1.2 inches high, giving it a broad clamping surface suited to flat stock, block material, and small fixtures. Overall length is 10.25 inches with an overall height of 3 inches. The stationary base keeps the vise fixed to the table without swivel movement, making it a straightforward choice for repetitive production setups or general shop work. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die tradespeople are the primary installers.

This vise is suited to benchtop and floor-standing drill presses in light industrial, maintenance, and machine shop environments. The horizontal orientation and stationary base make it well matched to flat-table drill press applications where consistent part registration matters. A throat depth of 1.2031 inches accommodates moderate-depth workpieces without extending past the jaw face. Standard spindle operation means no quick-release or rapid-advance mechanism is included, keeping the design simple and durable for everyday production use.

Installation Notes

This vise is typically mounted and adjusted by machinists or skilled tradespeople using T-bolts or strap clamps matched to the drill press table slots. Power down and lock out the drill press before positioning or adjusting the vise on the table. Inspect jaw faces and the base seating surface for burrs or debris before clamping to ensure accurate workpiece registration. Follow the drill press manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety codes when securing workholding equipment to the table.
