Value Collection 428-8315 Horizontal Drill Press Vise

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 428-8315 is a horizontal drill press vise designed for securing workpieces during drilling operations on drill press machines. Built from cast iron, this vise offers a jaw opening capacity of 5.3125 inches and a throat depth of 1.3125 inches, making it well suited for medium to large workpieces. The jaws measure 5 inches wide by 1.3125 inches high, providing a stable clamping surface. The cross-slide base allows lateral positioning of the workpiece without unclamping, improving repeatability on production or repetitive drilling tasks. Overall length is 10 inches with an overall height of 5.3 inches. Installed by machinists, toolmakers, and shop technicians in metal fabrication and machine shop environments.

This vise is intended for horizontal use on drill press tables in machine shop, fabrication, and light manufacturing settings. The cross-slide base provides two-axis positioning, which is useful when drilling multiple holes in a pattern without repositioning the workpiece by hand. Standard spindle operation keeps setup straightforward. The cast iron construction resists deflection under clamping load, maintaining accurate hole placement. This unit ships as a single piece with a minimum order quantity of one.

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 the appropriate T-slot hardware or clamps rated for the table slot size. Verify that the vise is square to the spindle axis before tightening hold-down hardware to ensure accurate hole placement.
