Value Collection 428-8314 Drill Press Vise 4 in Cast Iron

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 428-8314 is a horizontal drill press vise built for accurate workpiece clamping on drill press tables and milling setups. It features a 4-inch jaw width and a jaw opening capacity of 3-35/64 inches (3.5469 inches), giving technicians and machinists enough range for a wide variety of stock sizes. The throat depth measures 1.18 inches, keeping the workpiece low and stable during drilling operations. The vise body is constructed from cast iron, which resists deflection under clamping load and holds up in production shop environments. A cross-slide base allows lateral positioning of the workpiece without unclamping, improving workflow efficiency on repetitive hole patterns.

This vise is suited for light industrial and professional shop use, including metal fabrication shops, machine shops, and maintenance facilities. It is commonly used with bench-top and floor-standing drill presses where a standard-speed spindle operation is employed. The horizontal orientation and cross-slide base design make it appropriate for applications requiring precise lateral adjustment between drilling operations. The overall length is 8 inches and the overall height is 5.1 inches, making it compatible with most mid-size drill press tables.

Key Features

• 4-inch jaw width provides a broad clamping face for secure workpiece retention
• Jaw opening capacity of 3-35/64 inches (3.5469 inches) accommodates a wide range of stock sizes
• 1.18-inch throat depth keeps the workpiece close to the table surface for stability
• Cross-slide base allows lateral workpiece repositioning without releasing the clamp
• Cast iron construction resists deflection and wear under repeated clamping cycles
• Standard spindle operation for compatibility with conventional drill press setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit vise for horizontal drill press applications requiring a cross-slide base with a 4-inch jaw width and standard spindle operation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or maintenance technician. Before mounting, power down and lock out the drill press per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Secure the vise to the drill press table using appropriate T-bolts and hold-down hardware sized to the table slots. Verify that the vise sits flat and is torqued evenly before applying any clamping load to a workpiece.
