Value Collection 428-8316 Horizontal Drill Press Vise

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 428-8316 is a horizontal drill press vise designed for secure workpiece clamping during drilling operations on a drill press. Built from cast iron, this vise features a 5.75-inch jaw opening capacity and a 1.5-inch throat depth, making it suitable for a range of workpiece sizes encountered in machine shop and industrial fabrication environments. The jaws measure 6 inches wide and 1.484 inches high, providing a broad, stable clamping surface. A cross-slide base allows lateral workpiece repositioning without unclamping, improving repeatability and efficiency on the drill press table. Licensed machinists, tool and die technicians, and skilled tradespeople use this type of vise in production and maintenance settings.

This vise is suited for horizontal clamping applications on bench-top and floor-standing drill presses in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments. The cross-slide base is particularly useful when drilling multiple holes in a pattern, as it enables controlled lateral movement of the workpiece. The standard spindle operation type makes it compatible with conventional drill press setups without the need for specialized accessories. It measures 11.5 inches overall length and 6.2 inches overall height, fitting standard drill press tables used in light to medium industrial work.

Key Features

• 5.75-inch jaw opening capacity accommodates a wide range of workpiece widths
• 1.5-inch throat depth provides clearance for taller or irregularly shaped workpieces
• 6-inch wide jaws deliver broad, even clamping pressure across the workpiece face
• Cross-slide base enables lateral repositioning without releasing the workpiece
• Cast iron construction provides rigidity and vibration damping during drilling
• Horizontal orientation compatible with standard drill press table setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit vise for standard horizontal drill press table applications in light to medium industrial environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or qualified shop technicians. Before mounting, ensure the drill press table is powered down and the spindle is fully stopped. Secure the vise to the drill press table using appropriate T-bolts or clamps through the base mounting slots, verifying alignment with the spindle axis before tightening. Do not exceed the vise jaw opening capacity when clamping workpieces, as overloading can damage the lead screw or jaw faces.
